Ah good, what everyone said would happen is exactly what is happening.
Sure its not the data verification company directly, but proves that the whole process is so sufficiently complex that your ID could end up with multiple different providers and then be stolen. Not great.

That’s the point. De-anonymize everyone for surveillance capitalism.
The “think of the children” argument should never be taken in good faith. It’s a trojan horse for authoritarians to destroy your rights.

If it were about “surveillance capitalism” then we wouldn’t be hearing about this as unauthorised breaches.
It is enough that the people who demand these systems are ignorant.
