For now. In the future I could see a cost saving measure to be all digital.
> It would be reasonable for there to be statute that prohibits Apple from revoking your digital ID
There are a lot of reasonable statutes that should exist.
- duxup 5y agoI think the idea that an id would be digital only but then you're beholden to whomever software runs it would be frowned upon by the courts pretty fast. Lots of 'software gone bad and dorked up someone's life' kinda situations out there but when it comes to IDs and simple interactions like presenting one the courts are pretty generally pretty reasonable. I would expect some physical ID to continue for a long time.
- mrfusion 5y agoYou’ve got a lot of faith in the courts. What if our government becomes more dysfunctional? What if court appointments become super partisan and the other tribe is appointing them?
- EA 5y agoI would guess that a physical ID makes the states and the economy a lot of money. It cost almost $40 to renew a license here in Alabama and it can be done in less than 15 minutes. It is a token that allows third parties to verify the ID of someone with pretty good accuracy.
