!! Chrome introduces Digital ID !!
Warning: Google attempts a huge power grab
Chrome devs rolled out a new digital ID feature, that they are touting on their blog. This corrupt power grab is an attempt to legitimatize Google being the overseer of all identification through their browser and mobile platform. They are rolling it out for mobile first via Chrome.
This power grab is broken down into:
a) Presenting their rotten technical solutions
b) Pushing on legislators and partners to force adoption
Their propaganda even admits to collecting information completely UNRELATED to a web browser, such as driving a car. Quote:
“Age verification: Request age to verify a person's age before serving age-restricted content or purchasing age-restricted items.
Identity verification: Request name and address to verify a person's identity for legal compliance or fraud-prevention.
Driving privileges check: Verify a person's eligibility to drive (for example, when renting a car).”
Since when does Chrome browser need to check if I can drive?! The web browser is a horrible place to store unrelated data from a security perspective. I urge everyone to remain vigilant and call this out for what it is, they are doing a coup. It’s the deliberate attempt to gain power in society, through unnecessary changes and manipulative practices. Boycott Chrome browser if you’re not already, and tell your friends and family to do so as well.
