Extremely tight results and the majority of cantons voted against it.

I still believe it's the way forward.


Land doesn’t vote though. People do.
Not in this case, but “the decision to amend the constitution or join a supranational community requires a so-called double majority”.
and in Swirzerland a large percentage of the voters have a required by law machine gun or have kept the required machine gun, for the required time, so the "e-id" will presumably be just another part of generaly orderly and significantly bizarre, swissness very unlike whatever just got thrown out in merry old

Why? I mean this sincerely, are you not concerned about the dystopian social credit scoring potential of these systems

the general population are dumb, you are expecting too much from them to be honest.

the forward March toward dystopian tomorrow will never stop, we will lament the stupidity of the public who made this possible in our small corners on the internet.

I think it generally not wise to project the political conflicts and fault lines of one's own country on to other countries which exist in very different contexts.
we started to see this kind of disturbing dystopian legislations in Australia, European countries, uk and next is the United States. I don't think it's limited to one country.
I voted no in this, but I was on the fence. In my experience people are smarter than they get credit for and the decisions made in these votes are often quite good. There was more to consider than privacy, it's also about the fact that most countries will implement something like this as it is pushed by the UN. So it might become required for some things in the future. Then we currently don't have a whole lot of ways to distinguish AI from people anymore, which will only get worse. Propaganda bots are real and we don't know how that will evolve. It will make a lot of the processes easier as you can do them from home, which is especially useful for disabled people that can not easily appear physically. Plus, it's more or less optional to have one for now.

And yet, I am still kinda disappointed it passed. We will see how it evolves.
