Eventually, the talk of pandemics and vaccines will fade away, and all that will be left is a cashless society where all transactions go through a digital ID. Are you opting in? #ID2020
Let me hold up a black mirror to requiring digital identification to make purchases in future. Thread:
Are you on welfare? When shops and cafes require you to scan a QR code linked to #MyGovID & centrelink, the state will be able to control what you buy with that welfare check.
People might say “Well I’ll still just use cash” and sure you can, for now, but you still have to scan your QR code at the register that tells the government where you are and what you are buying, for “public health”. 😒 and yes Digital ID will be required to receive benefits.
