People wonder why Bitcoinis a “thing.”
This is why.
” In actuality, the measure is one step closer toward a national ID system that enables the government to control its citizens’ every move. “
Or is it a way to expose and control the CIA cut-outs operating VN?
The CIA is NOT interested in an independent Vietnam.
And we still get people who insist that Vietnam is a great example of a successful communist society.
I guess it’s true if “successful“ is defined as someone who doesn’t have, or doesn’t want a bank account, or is a party member.
How could anyone forget?!
Charlie is alive and well.
Biometric Data...........
Misleading and exaggerated article. People still have bank accounts and still rent apartments. Bank account withdrawals are regulated, in that one can’t withdraw large amounts of cash without documented reason. No, I don’t want this in the U.S., but Vietnam doesn’t deserve this sort of bashing.
Our government is way ahead of them. Every bank account can be traced to us. This has been true for decades.
This will happen here. You’ll vote for it to keep from the increased street crime you also voted for.
Not us personally but many states and stupid p people.
State Owned, we let the Communist state take over there.
Digital transformation is progressing in Vietnam as the country’s government pursues “Project 06” to modernize its economy and public services. The new national identity system is a cornerstone of the digital transformation plan, which includes civil registration, digital ID and authentication.
A Vietnam Briefing news report says that to enable interactions with public sectors, Vietnam is set to launch digital identity cards that will be added to the VNeID mobile app. These digital IDs were introduced in July with a view of supporting various public sector services. Vietnamese citizens must have the national e-identification VNeID app on their phone and be enrolled in level 2 which includes facial photos together with fingerprint biometrics. Level 1 accounts may be established through the mobile app while level 2 applications require an applicant’s presence at either a Ministry of Public Security MPS or provincial police office for verification.
This digital ID system will also assimilate health and social insurance cards, driving licenses, and birth certificates, thereby increasing convenience and security. Furthermore, users can disable ID to secure it but the government can also terminate an account due to violation of its terms.
Human lives…all wrapped up in nice little digital packages.
All those expats looking to Vietnam for a cheap life should think twice.
I remember BO musing about the trillions that Americans have in retirement accounts and how to redistribute it.
1984 was just a warning of what was to come.
People want convenience in their financial transactions, and people want security. The online world is dangerous. I don’t know exactly what form the evolving safety protocols will take, but I do think they will continue to get tighter — and people will accept it because there are so many fraud victims around.
As we approach the endgame of total Borg surveillance, there is only one domain that the left will resolutely protect from any ironclsd monitoring. That, of course, is voting.
I recall the first time I encountered the new fingerprint check upon returning to the U.S. from abroad. Being politically oriented, my first thought was, “Cool. I wonder how long it will take for this technology to get cheap enough and easy enough to be routinized and deployed at polling places for voter id.”
My second thought was, “Dream on. At that point the dems will tell us that blacks, hispanics and Native Americans disproportionately don’t have fingerprints. Or retinal or iris patterns that could be scanned. Or DNA.”
That was a long time ago, but the dems have anticipated the problem and now sidestepped it by going for automatic and contactless voter registration, remote voting, and no verification system other than the superior Jedi mind powers of democrat hacks involved in the open ended vote counting and ballot curing scams that have replaced real elections.
Try setting up a bank account without an address and an ID.
Can’t be done in the USA.
The only thing you CAN do in the USA without a valid ID is vote and drive.
Assuming you are not caught.
Vietnam has erased and/or frozen 86 million unverified bank accounts.
Money laundering hit hardest.
That should be the moment for a shooting Civil War right there.
There is only one reason for perfected biometric control: totalitarianism.
Shoot the bastards dead now, Vietnamese people!
That is, if they refuse to step down after free and fair elections.
What, no free and fair elections in a communist dictatorship?
See what I mean?
HOW MANY BIDEN ACCOUNTS WILL BE AFFECTED???
