End of September, Switzerland will vote for E-ID. A big threat for our privacy as it will widely used for tons of new use cases.
Behind the government pitch of an "open source project, completely optional" hides big tech industry... Which will make it mandatory to access their services.
What are your thoughts on that ?

To clarify, I know it works. I used it years ago (2022 I guess) and found it extremely convenient then. I did even help others set it up because I found it so efficient. So that's or popularity is not into question. How secure it is also isn't what I'm questioning because honestly if my bank suggests to use it, and it's not secure, they will have to pay in the end. No, the question is solely WHO gets WHICH data. For example is the bank consortium that can see my purchase? Is it "anonymized" (whatever that might in practice means) then sold to 3rd party?
