INSIGHT

Digital ID Is Centralized Control

Digital ID centralizes your identity into one government-verified gateway linking health, banking, travel and more.
Andrew Henderson warns this centralization enables surveillance, control, and easier harassment by authorities.

INSIGHT

Problem Is Cultural, Not Technical

The issue with digital ID is cultural, not merely technical or political, driven by Western compliance norms.
Henderson argues Western efficiency morphs into enforcement, turning convenience tools into control mechanisms.

ADVICE

Go Where You're Treated Best

Do consider relocating to jurisdictions that 'treat you best' rather than trying to fix systemic cultural problems at home.
Andrew Henderson recommends leaving to preserve privacy, sovereignty, and avoid centralized digital controls.
