:What makes something consumer rights rather than civil rights?

:I would like to broaden the focus of this article to Digital ID in general, since it's rolling out in several countries all at once. There are a few stories about personal information being leaked and undetected white hat security breaches in these systems that I believe it should cover. The UK Government also quietly funded the rollout of Digital ID in another country and use it as a success story to the UK public to justify it. They also said they were developing it in-house and had farmed it out to a private company in Romania. I'll need to collect sources, of course, but it's something I've been following closely. | :I would like to broaden the focus of this article to Digital ID in general, since it's rolling out in several countries all at once.

::I think this is still creeping too far into civil rights territory. it's very important, but just not within the wiki's scope. | |||
::if we applied the 'everyone is a consumer' logic you use there, then suddenly literally everything becomes relevant to the wiki. I don't want articles about voter ID or ICE or freedom of speech laws or whatever starting to flood the wiki. Do we start a series of articles on North Korea's societal repression too? Eritrea? Are the massacres of the Sudanese civil war relevant because the people who died were consumers? it just seems like it's past the line of what's in-scope.
