That’s sort of how all this type of policy is pushed through

Convenience - what you’re describing is convenience

It’s totally fine if you prioritize that over everything else, but my only thought here is that everyone should be crystal clear in what they are trading off for convenience

It’s convenient for the government too, tk have a single identifier to thread a persons entire life

We are, sadly, well beyond any expectation of privacy, but we should at least be aware of it and try to not make it worse

Again,I struggle to think of how it'd be used gather any data not already available.

Yes it's selling point is convenience. Convenience is good.

In this particular case I disagree that there's a price in privacy. At least currently, and the way the Swedish electronic ID is implemented, I don't see it.

With other variations there might be problems of course, though I'd worry more about someone messing up the security of it rather than privacy

I used to think like that. Now in my country we have a president who would use that to deport or target political opponents, track people who criticize Israel, etc.

You can never put the genie back in the bottle and you never know who will be in charge in 20 years

I struggle to see how it's a good thing for Sweden. I disagree convenience is a good thing.

We can all play "I struggle to see" and throw out weak arguments but it does not advance the topic
