Probably because they're not corrupt America. They don't walk around checking their back every minute for "Uncle Freedom" screwing them over.

It isn’t about corruption, when your data is now shared freely with other “partners”.

> Norway, Sweden, and Israel partner to test CBDCs (https://reclaimthenet.org/norway-sweden-and-israel-partner-t...)

Debanking someone is basically ending their lives in modern days, when your ID is linked to the banks, an ID that’s also to be used for digital services, you could get debanked for criticizing a politician in the future, for example.

And uncle freedom sure will get that data from their “closest ally”, not to mention any breaches like what happened in Sweden recently, a country that also wants to strap tracking on 13yo.

Digital ID is a nightmare anywhere’s used, it will turn any government into a totalitarian state.
