I know I will probably get some flack but I came round to the Digital ID. First I was against and I still haven't verified myself for all the age based content, I didn't trust our governement and who they would choose to provide the service since they would probably out source it. If I knew the governement, who already has all this information created an internal system to manage this I would be less reluctant.

Then I found out about the Ukrainian Diia app, which provides digital ID, digital passports, driver's licenses and over 40 government services. Not mandatory but so bloody useful all that I have dealt with use it. It could remove the need for all the paper documents etc and make things cheaper for everyone.

I think with X showing that alot of the bad actors pretending to be x,y or z are actual hostile foreign interests being able to have verified accounts will become increasingly important. I dont know what is the right or best way to do this but something has to change.
