Fake news must be combated, identity theft made more difficult, and bureaucracy simplified through digital processes. The world must finally be modernized – for that, we need an electronic ID. The digital salvation of the world! Or is it? They sell you convenience and take away your freedom in return. Every click, every payment, every step becomes information. The digital identity is not a tool for you, but a chain that you create yourself. What appears to be progress is control in a new guise.
I'm a technology enthusiast and open to innovations that offer efficiency, convenience, and new perspectives. Tools are fundamentally neutral. What matters is how they are used and deployed. However, the planned e-ID, which has already been partially introduced worldwide, makes me doubt its use. I've learned, not just in recent years, that individual freedom is an extremely valuable asset—and anything but a given. The e-ID is potentially dangerous in this regard.
Private companies don't worry me much (at the moment) – you can generally defend yourself against them. But state power is assertive, manipulable, and often demonstrably arbitrary. So, if we're being touted a government eID without which we might soon no longer be able to move freely (online) or work, then things are definitely getting dangerous.
The e-ID has the potential to contribute to total surveillance. And total surveillance is truly dangerous. Not because we fundamentally have something to hide, but because the state can at some point criminalize and/or sanction a previously normal opinion or action that it doesn't like. We don't have to look to dictatorships or even far back in time to find such examples of abuse.
An e-ID per se isn't a problem, as long as it's secure, open source, and its use can't be tracked. However, if it opens the door to monitoring our every move, we must fight back. As long as misuse of the e-ID isn't systematically prevented, it's our civic duty to oppose its introduction!
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
