Am already in a few systems. I think when I have to start handing over unlocked devices I have issues.
As a valid work visa holder in multiple countries, they already have my biometrics as they were a part of the visa process. Having the same data in my passport just speeds things up.
As long as I can enter/exit without showing more than my passport, I’m OK with it. My JD Vance memes stay locked the fuck down.
What’s this “still do traveling”?
I’ve never been able to afford to travel, so in that regard nothing will change.
But, living off-grid as much as possible sounds appealing. I don’t know about the reality, though. Ironically, being an introvert would make it harder to live off-grid, methinks.
Inb4 they start doing internal checkpoints…
ahem China ahem
(You have to present your ID before being able to purchase long distance train tickets…)
that’s a throwback to peasants needing travel papers to leave the lands of their lords. good to see china has come so far from their imperial roots.
Biometrics are already forced, unfortunately. No idea what “digital passports” are. What are they?
I just wish we got rid of passports altogether. Borders are dumb, IMO.
You know there is a lot of options between travelling to other countries and going off-grid?
Don’t you know? This is Lemmy, here either you support the militant revolution, or you are a fascist, there’s no in-between.
My government already has my biometric data and im not shocked or upset that they do. I fully expect my government to keep a record of all its citizens.
When i travel i dont mind other countries verifying my identity and my preference is for it be digital and fast.
I dont expect my privacy to include hiding who i am from my own government and a foreign government when im traveling to their country thats absurd.
