State Legislatures Need to Block Creation of Nightmarish National Identity System
The ACLU has issued legislative recommendations on protecting privacy and accessibility when creating digital IDs.
Around the country, state legislatures are embracing the creation of a nightmarish new electronic national identification system that has the potential to track everybody β online and off. This system is being created in the form of digital driverβs licenses. At first blush, these can seem harmless. Digital driverβs licenses are just what they sound like: A digital version of your state-issued driver license, permit or non-driver ID, carried in an app on your smartphone.
