SUMMARY - Verifying Identity: Convenience vs. Surveillance

Verifying Identity: Convenience vs. Surveillance

To access your tax account, you prove who you are. To vote, you prove who you are. To cross a border, apply for benefits, open a bank account, or access healthcare, you prove who you are. Identity verification is the gateway to participation—and a site of tension between convenience, security, and surveillance.
