The Chinese government is engaging in some worrisome activities when it comes to tracking its citizens. A biometric ID is in development for tracking citizen use of the Internet. Some media reports are even saying that there are even ID trackers in the works to track location and DNA. Many civil and human rights activists are outraged by this government intrusion, but some people, even those in the West, think it's really no big deal. In fact, some people say they would happily have their IDs and financial information embedded within themselves like a microchip.
It seems like there's either people who deeply fear this possibility or relish it. Why would you want to be chipped like that? It's bad enough that our social media, phones and other online use is constantly monitored, but adding biometrics in seems like a step in the wrong direction. Maybe it's just me being an old xennial who enjoys the Internet but doesn't want it as part of my body.
What do you think about biometrics, tracking and microchip implants?
