e-ID passed in Switzerland by around 20'000 votes. Had we emailed our users in Switzerland, NO could have won, but we didn't want to interfere with the democratic process. However, state-owned companies interfered by funding the YES campaign. Calls for a new vote are justifiable.

Clarification: The British people have not approved digital IDs. PM @Keir_Starmer unilaterally announced they would be required for work. He may have taken an extreme position to make voluntary digital IDs seem reasonable, as other politicians have done

We need digital IDs to halt migration, increase efficiency, & safeguard data, they say. But border control does not require digital IDs and centralizing data is a hacker's dream. The real reason they want digital ID is for billions in fees and the control of our behavior.

Palantir set up its European hub in Switzerland. I'm told this was likely to be in EU market and avoid EU regulation.

"The NGO called Digital Society Switzerland accepted 750'000 CHF from the Mercator foundation in 2023, and since then they are in favour of digital ID. So, Mercator bascially corrupted Digital Society Switzerland."

The statement and its context involve a discussion on digital IDs, touching on themes of privacy, government control, and public consent. The tone is critical and suggests skepticism towards the motives behind digital ID implementation.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement implies potential harm from digital IDs, suggesting they could lead to surveillance and control, which aligns with the principle of striving to do no harm by raising awareness. [+1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement respects privacy by highlighting concerns about data centralization and potential misuse, aligning with the principle of respecting privacy and dignity. [+1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement promotes understanding by discussing the implications of digital IDs, though it could be more balanced in presenting multiple perspectives.
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in criticism of digital ID policies but could be seen as lacking constructive dialogue by focusing on negative aspects without offering solutions. [-1]
