End of September, Switzerland will vote for E-ID. A big threat for our privacy as it will widely used for tons of new use cases.

Behind the government pitch of an “open source project, completely optional” hides big tech industry… Which will make it mandatory to access their services.

What are your thoughts on that ?

    You’re just spoiled.

    Switzerland is the only country that I know has direct democracy. The others have indirect democracies where you vote politicians (or parties here in Slovakia) and they decide on your behalf what they want.

      Agee there’s kinda direct democracy. But check out, its public. How many top level politics are paid by insurances ? 50-80 people ?^^

      For me a democracy is a government not funded by private companies.

        For me a democracy is a government funded by funds that are not stolen away by an Eurofund embezzlement mafia.
