  • Basically this document will not stop illegal working (because you know, people who hire illegal workers don’t check paperwork)

    Totally agree on this, but as for the rest, I’m guessing this only expedites linking up information by virtue of it being in a computerised system rather than enabling it at all.
    It is very worrisome that a party like that could get into power, but it doesn’t change how it’s always been, we are at the “mercy” of our government, if they want to single out a demographic and actively hamper it, they will find a way regardless of the tools in use.

    To focus on this as a bad aspect looks to me like it’s sort of missing the point, this more or less should provide an easier management of information.
    What could be argued instead, is that it is locking out people who don’t have the access to devices enabled to it, which is a real problem if they want to phase out papers completely. Here in Italy already with the IO app we can (so it’s currently fully optional) have our driving licence digitised, but that single feature doesn’t work (at least for now, and it’s been almost a year by now that support hasn’t been added) on GrapheneOS, for example.
    I think the real issues are two: a hostile government, which holds true regardless of methods, and lack of support for secure and private platforms which the citizens should 100% be entitled to use
