>>The ID is also one's inventory number, and the number of things which one can't do without it is limiting his rights. Instead of the old, soviet-style controlled movement, they now have quasi free movement under the condition of leaving a digital trace. You can go wherever you want (by bus) as long as we know where you go and who you are, or you can't (on a commercial plane, try open source please) if we blacklist you.

Just taking a step back - the context is reliable democracy with citizens and only citizens empowered to vote, once. If you've a better mechanism, what is it? ;-)

>>I know how this came to be, by abuse of those rights by the few, then requiring these numbering scheme of everybody to prevent those few (who will then find workarounds anyway).
