Just a thought: For the better half of the 20th century, i.e. after WWII, Europe has been confronted and living with acts of terrorism from numerous sides (Israeli – just after WWII, Palestine, left-wing, right-wing, nationalist, etc, etc) with several severe casualties. Europe's democracies (for the better part at least) stepped back from drastic surveillance measures at will. (Partly because of the example of the Eastern block. Look up: Stasi.) It worked anyway.

So: There is no possible deal of security versus freedom as it has been proposed for the last 12 years or so. Sorry. It does not make sense. There is no proportion between the losses of freedom and identity, the investment, and the reported "less than 50 use cases" for the whole surveillance system. Please stop. Immediately.

Just saying, while we are losing digital identity.
