   🛂 We want to make travelling across EU borders smoother.

   That’s why we are launching a public consultation on the digitalisation of travel documents. Your contributions will help establish a common standard in the Schengen area.

   Digital travel documents can be easier to issue than physical ones and can facilitate border checks.

   This initiative aims to decide on a common format for digital travel documents.

     @quincy There's nothing else to expect from this @EU_Commission - just look up how they treat even the parliamentary when it comes to criticism of f.e. #Chatcontrol. They sure love the idea of the european total surveillance state, damn everyone stating those pesky "facts" or "citizen rights".

     I can only hope the decay of the US serves as some kind of wakeup call to them, otherwise we as citizens are royally fucked.

     I've taken part in a number of those pseudo-consultations regarding e-government or digital politics. The proposals to be commented never failed to "disappoint", always had a deeply Orwellian component.

     And by now I know for sure that the "consultation" process isn't serious.

     No amount of well-founded criticism from the public has had any impact whatsoever on those bandwagons.

     The only effect is that the objections are there for all to see, for posterity maybe.

     Great, another "have your say" on some piece of #Orwell'ian shit legislation that is foregone conclusion, to pretend the public has been "consulted" in a show of democracy ...

     Without even looking, is my guess correct that this is involuntary biometry and automated decision making sugarcoated as "convenience" ("smooth" travel for some)

     or maybe dangerous government-controlled "smartphone" feature creep like eID?

     @EU_Commission How about we start with not racially profiling EU citizens at EU borders first?

     Thoughts?
