New petition description:

We request:

- Legal Safeguards: To ensure that no individual can be denied employment, healthcare, housing, banking, or any service for not possessing a Digital ID.- Voluntary Basis: The use of Digital IDs must always remain voluntary.- Non-Digital Alternatives: To ensure that non-digital options are always freely available to prevent discrimination, exclusion, or coercion.- Protect the Vulnerable – Especially the Children: The use of Digital IDs will significantly disadvantage the vulnerable and those less able to interact in a digital world and the children should always be protected from the prying interests a Digital ID involves.-world.- No Social Credit System: Scores silence freedom - one score shouldn’t determine your rights.

Digital ID: The First Step Towards Total Control of Your Life

-The EU's Authority LimitationsThe European Union (EU) is neither a country nor a state and, as such, cannot issue identity documents whether digital or otherwise.  Without our consent, the EU is requiring Member States to issue certain types of ID documents with specific features and security standards (e.g. Reg 2019/1157 on ID card security, and its successors) and the EU is forcing Member States to offer a European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI Wallet) under eIDAS 2.0, i.e. a digital identity app that is recognised across the Union, “issued” by the Member State.

Each country retains the ability to reject any EU decision and can determine whether to comply or not with their own laws and constitution.  The government of Malta is answerable to the citizens of Malta who voted it in.

In the Maltese Islands, weMalta currently utilizeoperates a biometric based, functional ID card system which forces the submission of your biometrics.system. We need to safeguard ourselves and future generations from these controlling frameworks and demand that our government preserves our right for an alternative, to choose whether or not to use a Digital ID and still have access to all services. 

Help us achieve this by signing the petition.

- No Digital ID Means No CBDCWithout a Digital ID, banks cannot implement Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), which threatens your freedom to use cash as legal tender. Physical cash must always continue to be legal tender to stop the surveillance state and prevent scores determining your rights. 

- Imagine a Cashless SocietyASocietyIn my opinion, a CBDC environment will erode your privacy, and may operate as a system to monitor and control every purchase you make. This system imposes limits on how, where, on what, and when, you can spend your digital currency, restricting your choices and freedoms.

- Power Outages and Data Security RisksTheRisksIn my opinion, the proposed Digital ID system will be entirely unusable during power outages and systems failures, as was the experienced recently with ATMs, and poses significant risks of hacking and data theft, consolidating all your personal information in one vulnerable system.

ItIn my opinion, it is essential we can prevent the theft and control of our private data and to stop the pooling of our data exposing us to the threat of a “social credit” style scoring system regulating our every move, decision and purchase.  We need to learn from the failures of the recent years during Covid-19, where people were excluded, coerced, and discriminated for making their own choices!

Imagine a world where your scores defines your rights to go to a restaurant or the gym, or you are fined, or lose rights for failing to return enough beverage containers through BCRS, or where your Identity Card, Skill Pass or Drivers Licence is due to expire, and you have not commenced the renewal.  Your life is not a score – don’t let data decide your destiny! 

The drive towards digitalisation has removed many freedoms and choices in the recent years including the reliance on eID for most interactions with government and entities associated with government along with the enforcement being outsourced to the cartel of banks, taxi and delivery services and more.  

- The UN 2030 Sustainable Goals Are DraconianWhile they may appear beneficial, the underlying reality is starkly different. As the World Economic Forum predicted for 2030, “You will own nothing and be happy.” This policy framework openly seeks to regulate your diet, travel, and even your speech. Ideas such as a personal allowance of only three new clothing items per year are being considered. The loss of cash freedom will result in a suffocating “debt slave” system.
