I have sinned. I voted for the swiss electronic identification.

I thought it would be better, when the government does it, instead of a private company. I still do.

But today I would not use digital identification. Even when it will mean to be excluded from a service or event.
Age verification sounds reasonable until you realize it means every adult hands over their ID just to go online.

We wrote about why this is a terrible idea and what should happen instead.
