A national identification system is a standardized ID system that provides a unique identification number or card to all citizens, which can be used to verify identity and access various services. Proponents argue that it enhances security, streamlines identification processes, and helps prevent identity fraud. Opponents argue that it raises privacy concerns, could lead to increased government surveillance, and may infringe on individual freedoms.

Yes but an independent agency will be able to monitor the government to prevent misuse of the national identification system
@9QHZQ299mos9MO
Yes to access vital services whilst ensuring upmost security and no data collection (which could be hacked)
@9QGNHDH9mos9MO
Meaning what exactly? Fraud will always find a way whilst disenfranchised people cannot afford the identification to vote. If it means revealing what the government already have covertly then issue everyone a transparent ID that connects with every data for free. Everybody should be able to access what is held about them.
@9QF9GKG9mos9MO
Yes but nothing extreme, only for example a national fingerprint database, not just for convicted felons
@9Q9XHN39mos9MO
Yes for practical purposes but it should be free and not obligatory to carry or be required to show it when asked.
Yes, to a certain point- like identification for accessing banks, private and highly important identification information, ancestry results
@9Q8SS3GWomen's Equality9mos9MO
Yes, however it depends on what system and techniques they implement. As we can not take away people’s freedom and identity but should be keeping us all safe and fraud free
@9P7DLK210mos10MO
No we already have enough identification procedures that only serve to limit personal freedoms and for the data to be sold and distributed to corporations and banks.
@9NYTYQ8 10mos10MO
Only if stringent laws and regulations were put in place
@9PXBTJNLibertarian9mos9MO
There should be a NIS but it should be used for those that wish to use government services or receive benefits.
@9PQ727L9mos9MO
No, As the system will never be fair to everyone. The elites will never be treated the same as the masses.
@9PKGP8K10mos10MO
Yes but only after much wider investigation and analysis of operating systems to take account of invasion of privacy and misuse of information
