Britain, the EU, and the United States are each building the same digital identity infrastructure under three different names, while officially denying any of it is a “digital ID.” Britain killed Britcard, but One Login and the GOV.UK Wallet were never touched — already live in over a hundred government services, with right-to-work checks going mandatory by the end of this Parliament. The EU wallet is mandatory for every member state by December 24 this year, though Germany’s own version will not be ready in time. The US has no wallet and no single law, just a Senate bill that would make your phone report your age before any app opens — and cannot even tell a seventeen-year-old from an adult.
Three governments, three names, one identical outcome.
