Скачать или смотреть Episode 0044 - Mexico's Mandatory Biometric ID and Surveillance Concerns

This episode discusses Mexico's recent legislation making a biometric national identification system (CURP) mandatory for all citizens, including children. This new system incorporates fingerprint and iris scans, along with facial recognition, to create a unified digital identity platform. While the Mexican government asserts the system will help combat missing persons cases and is governed by existing privacy laws, privacy advocates and digital rights groups express significant concerns. They highlight the lack of transparency regarding data access, raising fears of mass surveillance, potential misuse by intelligence agencies without judicial oversight, and the creation of a centralised database vulnerable to breaches and abuse. Critics also suggest the system could become a precedent for cross-border data sharing, particularly concerning immigration, viewing it as a tool for control rather than simply modernisation.
