"Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimetres inside your skull."
What do you think, this popular phrase from the book 1984 by George Orwell has to do with an actual voting which could reappear soon? In accordance with an event, which is probably coming towards us and whose name is “the Swiss E-ID law”, our future regarding web browsing could look grim. It is big brother or to be exact “the swiss government” who might get access to our search history on Google search, etc. when this law should come to life. In a nutshell, the goal is to create an electronic ID for web purposes with individual login for every web user. They declare it as optional, but what if this becomes mandatory in future? Will our privacy be in danger?
Fasten your seatbelts for this interesting work we did to present you a possible scenario of 2084 which could take place as demonstrated in the PDF document. Do also not miss out to listen to our podcast!
