China Proposes Digital ID System Amid Privacy Concerns
Aug 11, 2024, 11:32 AM
China has released a draft proposal for a digital ID system that could be used across the internet. The government claims the initiative aims to protect consumers by reducing the excessive collection and retention of personal information by internet platforms. However, critics argue that the real motive is to increase control over people's behavior online. A post by Ms. Lao, which criticized the government's intentions, was quickly removed by state censors. The proposal has raised concerns about privacy and government surveillance, with critics warning that it could make it easier for authorities to track individuals online.
