ID2020
institutionNations & Geopolitics · Crypto & Digital ID
A digital ID push is sold as protecting your privacy, while it quietly builds the system that tracks you.
Who they are
ID2020, an alliance that says it promotes ethical digital ID, and the Digital Impact Alliance, which it merged with.
What they do
The record calls it a way to shore up digital ID technology, pushed through the EU by Thierry Breton.
How it works
ID2020 says since 2016 it has promoted privacy-protecting digital ID for empowerment. The record ties it to Adam Cooper and to Thierry Breton, a bureaucrat whose stated goal was to protect you. It also links ID2020 to a merger with the Digital Impact Alliance. The record does not give the date or terms of that merger.
Why it matters
It shows how a system that watches everyone can be presented as a way to help and protect people.
The engine's record — word for word
The corpus records: "There are just a few more bits left here - shoring up the digital ID technology through Adam Cooper and the ID2020, and to see how all of this was pushed through the EU by Thierry Breton, who another bureaucrat with the overaching goal of wanting to protect you ."
