Article seems like it is probably not relevant to the wiki. Unlike the OSA, which has severe data privacy and security issues inherent to the way it has been implemented, there's not much regarding the digital ID implementation that is specifically consumer rights related, rather than related to general civil rights.

:I know nothing about the system besides what I read here, however it is hard for me to see how it isn't consumer rights related. It appears to be a system where the government determines who may be a consumer. (For most people, if you don't work then you don't get money, then you don't consume.) (Billionaires asside). Such a system would certainly have broad consumer impact. Rather like the social security number in the USA. They claimed it would just be for employment, and not be a national identification system. However it has evolved into much more than just employment (feature creep). It is a valuable target for identity theft, etc. | |||
