S04E15 Digital ID: The Good and the Bad

Justice with John Carpay

We discuss the Justice Centre report "Digital ID, Surveillance, and the Value of Privacy" by our Education Programs Coordinator Luke Neilson. The report makes a distinction between the benefits of some types of digital IDs--like better authentication of a person's identity--and more invasive types that collect and centralize large amounts of personal information which may be abused. Later in the show we shine a spotlight on the National Citizen's Inquiry into Canada's Covid-19 response.
