Questions are starting to be asked about Apple’s ID programme
 

Why are US states spending tax payer money to give citizen data to Apple?

Fruity cargo cult Apple appears to be on a money spinner – it is getting tax payers money to run a service where government departments give it personal data of millions of citizens.

Surprisingly some people are starting to ask questions how this bizarre situation came about.

Under the deal Apple is making, Georgia, Arizona, Kentucky and Oklahoma foot part of the bill and provide customer support for its plan to turn iPhones into digital identification cards.

The company requires states to maintain the systems needed to issue and service credentials, hire project managers to respond to Apple inquiries, prominently market the new feature and push for its adoption with other government agencies, all at taxpayer expense, according to contracts signed by four states.
