The theocracy types are making this terrible, but the technology has alot of potential to enhance privacy.

For example, I was involved in a project several years ago on this where this was explored before the big vendors became players. The issue we were studying was abuse of credentials in-person - many bars will capture people’s identity information when validating IDs.
