On what cashless society is all about.
Maria: For everything there's always a positive side and a negative side. It's up to you to weigh and choose what works for you. For me, beyond the convenience, that's all that's said about it besides other benefits. To me, cashless means limitation in a way that if we go totally cashless, we have no alternatives.

Arthur: When you speak of identity, it describes what or who someone is. Everything about us, has some connotation with money. At the end of the day, your identity can be crafted to mean what your financial reach is. For example, if you needed a passport today, you can decide whether to get one today or a week later, depending on your finances.

Arthur: Imagine me having all my money on my phone but I cannot transact. That's the foreseeable danger of having no alternatives other than a digitalized system for transactions.
Maria: The other risk perhaps is the digital trail you leave behind when you transact. This data can be used for surveillance and you have no privacy. Everything you buy can be traced back to your digital wallet where they know what you bought, where you bought it and how much you spent. It also leads to digital profiling.
Arthur: Human beings are largely social. We try to incline to a certain format or know and within those traits we define patterns. The digital agenda tries to paint colour to these patterns. For example if I like to eat a particular food at a particular place, that's my pattern. These agendas are tracing these patterns to create a digital profile. Data doesn't lie. You may deny it but these can be seen because there's proof.

The hacking of Kenya’s State House, Interior, and other government websites shows exactly why the digital ID system is risky.
If people can break into top gov't sites and post extremist messages, what happens when these systems hold our personal details?
This is why, before governments push for digital IDs, they must first make sure their systems are strong and secure and think carefully before creating one central pool of personal data as this is the dream of every hacker. #DigitalID #Kenya

“The purpose of technology is to serve, not to control. By phasing out cash, the spontaneous shopping spree or buying roadside Rolex is shackled, removing an aspect of liberty. This is a call to the governments to look past the shortcuts and find long-term innovations that will not cause humanity to be at the mercy of technology. We are our own threat, not technology.”

Following the UK’s new digital ID law, Digital Agenda reflects on key concerns raised during our October 2024 Town Hall: "Digital IDs-Who's Really in Control?"
Our panel discussed the global push for centralized digital identity systems;
the risks to privacy, autonomy, and inclusion, especially when they are introduced without public consultation, or data protection strategies.
As digital IDs become more common, we should continue to ask; Who is the actual beneficiary in all of this?
