Privacy Fears as European Union Moves Forward With Digital ID

The plan to establish a ‘European digital ID’ marks a significant move towards the creation of a centralized, fully digital identification system in the European Union (EU). The system, which many fear in time could essentially become mandatory, will involve citizens having digital wallets containing their ID cards, driving licenses, bank account details, medical records, and other personal documents. The wallets could also likely be used for so-called ‘vaccine passports.’

Cybersecurity experts and other observers point out that the system could be a dangerous precursor to the setting up of a European digital surveillance state. Arguing that the wallets will inadequately safeguard privacy, many people fear the ‘European digital ID’ will be open to widespread abuse from both rogue actors and prying governments alike.

Concern has also been expressed that the wallets will be a precursor to the creation of a ‘digital euro’ currency, thus enabling the EU to control citizens’ personal finances through a system of programmable money.
