Digital ID, programmable money pave way for ‘dystopian hellhole, horrific totalitarian regimes’: ESN at European Parliament

Digital ID, programmable money like Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), and AI are paving the way for a “dystopian hellhole” run by a “horrific totalitarian regime” seeking to build digital gulags, 15-minute ghettos, and the tokenization of everything in nature, according to a Europe of Sovereign Nations (ESN) group MEP outreach event in the European Parliament. Gathered at the European Parliament today was a panel of politicians, medical specialists, lawyers, academics, and activists who all warned about a coming dystopia powered by digital ID, programmable currencies, and artificial intelligence.
