MasterCard’s new “digital ID” project has a dystopian feature that allows for disturbing tracking and monitoring of the public.
The payment processing giant’s so-called “Community Pass” project will allow governments to monitor the “health” of individuals and track their vaccination status.
Mastercard’s executive vice president Tara Nathan, who is leading the project, claims the system is designed to help integrate marginalized communities into the digital world.

However, the project has only managed to attract 3.5 million voluntary users so far.
Yet skeptics of digital ID plans may wonder about the project’s real reach and intentions as “Community Pass” prepares to expand into partnering with governments.
Nathan promoted the alleged merits of the “Community Pass” during a recent appearance on the company-sponsored podcast “What’s Next In.”
Launched in 2019, “Community Pass” ostensibly provides individuals in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia-Pacific with a digital ID.
The system also provides a wallet for “digital cash.”
The platform provides users with access to services such as government benefits and humanitarian assistance.
