I'm really wary of these initiatives, because perfect law enforcement is how society ossifies. Imagine if we could prosecute all homosexual tendencies when they happened, or all interracial relationships, or any other antiquated law. Society would never progress.

What happens if the government can now perfectly enforce that people under 18 can't do X or Y?

How does this apply to a digital version of an official government ID? The government already has all this data.

Most people are missing the fact that your passport in the drawer doesn't know where you are.

Once everyone is mandated to carry digital ID, then possibilities to track population open up.
