Starmer’s ID plan has caused upset, but in the EU the debate has long been settled
www.theguardian.com
ID cards have become an essential part of life for many across the bloc, with digital versions already launched in many member states

As above question.

Are they counted as ‘digitally excluded’ and how fucked are the actually digitally excluded residents?

    Japan apparently has the same problem. It definitely has that probably using a phone to scan the id card to use various services (which is why I run stock android, mostly, with transit passed and banking being the other reasons).

    I say apparently because I have zero interest in having the id on my phone itself.

    Rooting apparently makes FELICA not work which is super inconvenient in Japan.
