Centralized power: When one system holds everyone’s identity, money, health, and movement data, whoever runs it can potentially cut someone off from society with a few clicks. Loss of privacy: Every transaction, location, or opinion could, in theory, be tracked. Punishment through technology: In China, the social-credit model is real — it uses financial penalties and restrictions to enforce obedience. That fuels fears that other governments could copy it. Dependency on systems: If your life is tied to a single digital ID and that ID gets frozen, hacked, or deleted, you’re effectively erased from the system — that’s what people mean when they say “digitally homeless.”
