A national identification system is a standardized ID system that provides a unique identification number or card to all citizens, which can be used to verify identity and access various services. Proponents argue that it enhances security, streamlines identification processes, and helps prevent identity fraud. Opponents argue that it raises privacy concerns, could lead to increased government surveillance, and may infringe on individual freedoms.

No, because I can only see ways that the government can abuse it like how the Chinees Communist Party uses their surveillance system on it's own citizens while also to some extent with foreigners.
@8XLR4JX 3wks3W
Yes, but only if regulations protecting individual privacy rights and preventing government overreach are also included
@9Q5P6YV4wks4W
We already have that. It’s a social security number.
@mpgiii 4 days4D
Yes, but only if it is universal and mailed to all citizens automatically when they become of legal age.
@268W4CP 1wk1W
Yes, but with strict regulations so as not to result in innocent people being harmed due to being mistaken for criminals.
@9R2WY8S1wk1W
There is already a way to get ID for those with no drivers' license. Expand that. Create digital ID to address ID problems specific to the homeless population. Issues international worker ID's and extend that to workers currently considered illegal.
