Corporate Coalition Pushes Government to Create Digital ID Infrastructure …
List of Major Corporations Pushing for Digital ID
Ken Macon with Reclaim The Net reports:
A group of private companies have published a digital ID blueprint encouraging state governments to implement policies involved in creating a digital ID system.
The blueprint was published by the Better Identity Coalition, a group of 27 US companies, including Mastercard, Equifax, AT&T, and more. The group either wants to stop the worry about ID fraud or to profit from preventing ID fraud by pushing to normalize digital IDs.
The coalition is encouraging states to make their department of motor vehicles the core of developing and maintaining digital ID systems because these departments are central to each state’s identification systems.
The second recommendation is the updating of vital records bureaus and having these bureaus create attribute-validation services. These records include birth, death, and marriage databases.
