Good god. The Swiss people just approved digital IDs. Australia implemented them in December. The UK last week. In all 3 nations, deep state-allied politicians are behind them. This is a digital ID/censorship emergency.
The deep state swamp creatures know that digital IDs are unpopular and so they are trying to rush them through before anyone realizes what they are doing.
The good news is that the more people learn about them the more alarmed they become. Polling in Switzerland showed 60% backed digital IDs, which both houses in parliament had already approved. The final vote was just 50.4%. It almost lost. I hope the Swiss people are carefully scrutinizing the vote count. Same dynamic in UK. Opposition to digital IDs is low and will rise. Digital IDs can and must be killed.
From a Swiss source: "Palantir and Mercator sponsored the Yes Campaign. Palantir is a member of Digital Switzerland, alongside other tech companies. Digital Switzerland lobbied for the E-ID/digital ID in Switzerland in this vote.”
"The NGO called Digital Society Switzerland accepted 750'000 CHF from the Mercator foundation in 2023, and since then they are in favour of digital ID. So, Mercator basically corrupted Digital Society Switzerland."
Palantir set up its European hub in Switzerland. I'm told this was likely to be in EU market and avoid EU regulation.
