A compulsory national ID system already means they are living in a police state, so they have worse issues to worry about than this.
Also, maybe at some point the UE countries will start to enforce the CJUE directive that banned US companies (and especially GAFAMs) in 2015 (after the war is over ?), this would open quite a space for competition !
I never understood this. Do you have a driver's license? Do you have a job? Do you but stuff? Have a bank account? a credit card? health insurance? Do you use the internet? Do you pay taxes?
You are already in a lot of national databases, you're easily trackable already. You already are subject to all of your alleged downsides without the benefits of having a single document.
Do you really believe that an American has more freedom than, let's say, a Switzerland citizen? Really????
> A compulsory national ID system already means they are living in a police state
Such a bizarre take.
Many countries have national ID systems that are compulsory (or effectively compulsory) and do not fall under any reasonable definition of a "police state"
