My government, ladies and gentlemen!
Soon require your memory and thoughts to be logged as well
New crime unlocked: thinking un-patriotic thoughts
This sets a precedent that other countries might follow. Bad.
Luckily there are relatively few countries that look at Vietnam as a role model.
Biometric information on DNA and voice is collected when voluntarily provided by the people or the agency
Ugh, how is it voluntarily provided if its mandatory for everyone over the age of 14?
DNA and voice is voluntary at least for now, but they will do a mandatory iris scan. Doesn’t make it any better in my books. The fact that the government even wants this much biometric data is ridiculous.
Already happened in the EU, you must provide your fingerprint to get an ID
Yeah what the fuck is up with that?
eID done wrong
That’s the Vietnamese government for you. Such blatant overreach and I’ve seen little discourse on this issue. So many people blindly trust it because national unity/national security/patriotism or whatever. If you dare to oppose the government, they’re taking you to the police station for questioning. There’s basically no press freedom and internet freedom is shit as well so where the hell are people going to get differing opinions? All the articles I’ve read are simply parroting the government. This shit would never fly in a democracy. The writing has been on the wall for a long time. I’ll be finding ways to get tf out of here
This kind of thing is happening all over. The UK is a well-known western surveillance state. Here in the US, (in my state at least) we are required to give thumbprints for a drivers license. Entering the US at many locations now entails fingerprint and facial scans. All governments will trend towards more total information/control.
