Fuck it, everything in that article is a lie.

> Proponents of digital slavery says the technology will make online verification more """efficient""", thereby controlling activities like accessing government soyvices (which you shouldn't access in the first place) and money transfers by eliminating the need to log-in via authentication codes and images of government-issued documents.

Just use a password manager, works far more efficient than a bloated slave card verification soystem.

> The country’s digital enslavement will be """secured""" by blockchain technology, making it difficult to hack because the data is """decentralized""".

So South Korea too fell for the "blockchain is decentralized" meme...
Imagine using every SK computer as a blockchain storage space, it's a matter of common sense to see how easy it is to "hack" and steal all the data and leak it online for everyone to see.
Basically, "war on hackers" by making hackers' lives so much easier, how retarded do you even have to be!?

> Additionally, the technology will ensure that not even the government has access to the data stored on the phone (the digital ID will be a smartphone app), including when, how, and where the digital IDs are used.

Then why would K-Gov push an app on devices that are known for being track and traceable 24/7, of which their exact locations are being logged and sent to all over the place, and so on?
They're not even hiding the fact they're full of shit!
