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 ?

    I have not yet looked into it.

    I will vote in favour if:

    • The E-ID platform is controlled by the government and is fully open source
    • Platforms only get a single binary information for age verification if the person is old enough or not and does not get any identifiable information.
    • The government platform does not get any info about what service is doing the request. So the government controlled ID platform cant log what service the person uses.

    If any of these points are not fulfilled with the planned implementation I will have to weigh the risks.
