Paul G. Conlon is a senior engineer with expertise in electronic engineering, information technology, and digital identity systems, as well as the author of 'Citizen One: The Case Against Digital Identity'.
In 'Citizen One', Paul makes a case against centralised digital IDs by using his technical understanding and family history of living in 1930s-40s Germany to highlight how such systems enable state control over the lives of citizens. He warns that while these systems are introduced on the basis of safety and convenience they pose serious threats to privacy and freedom.
On this episode of Based, Senator Antic and Paul G. Conlon discuss the centralised identity system, what we can learn from that historical experience, and the many devils in the details of centralised digital ID.
