Digital ID policies will enable the government to finally catch up with modern life, by offering a free, optional and secure way to access services faster. The system puts citizens in control of their data while enabling the kind of efficiency people already expect from banking and shopping apps. Building a deliberately inefficient state to protect liberty means wasting billions on administrative staff and outdated systems that can't prevent fraud or deliver services effectively.
