France has announced plans for a national digital I.D. system just days after President Emmanuel Macron was re-elected. The “Digital ID Guarantee Service” ( SGIN ) was signed into law following his victory over Marine Le Pen, which will allow France to be ‘compliant’ with the European Union’s digital ID .
The French Ministry of the Interior announced that it will be creating a smartphone application to house a new digital identity. The biometric app, which is tied to digital ID movements across Europe, was signed off in a decree by Prime Minister Jean Castex and Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin on Tuesday. The app will allow users to scan their physical identity card and it will be uploaded to be used to access public or private services.
France’s plan builds off a previous effort to introduce a digital I.D. in 2019. The use of facial recognition technology, as well as the collection of fingerprints, caused intense backlash against the proposal, which was ultimately scrapped.
The new system will not collect those pieces of information, but it will record names, date of birth, a photo, and both email and physical addresses.
According to the French government , the application “allows the user, in particular, to generate electronic certificates containing only the identity attributes whose transmission he considers necessary to third parties of his choice.”
Details on how the new system will be implemented are forthcoming, though French citizens have grown accustomed to using a digital ID over the last several months. France introduced a vaccine passport system that made digital proof of vaccination a requirement for entry to “non-essential” public venues. This included gyms, restaurants, bars and outdoor sporting events.
The European Union as a whole is also planning on introducing a digital identity application sometime this year in order to enable people to […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
