Money, The State and Me
Critical comment by Max Blumenthal of the ethically dubious use of an app "The State and Me" developed by the US government in conjunction with Ukraine.
"The State and Me App" is used as a portal for the public to interact with government institutions.
In this video, Max Blumenthol considers the potential of the app for social control by the state, and the role of misallocation of US government military funding in causing poverty in the US.
Unfortunately, Max seems to overstep the mark of publishing and notifying the public, to additionally seeking reputational damage.
Reputational damage maybe an indirect result of publications, but should not be the aim of a reporter. The aim of a reporter is to identify the truth, and to publish it.
Max's work, which is never the less important, can be found at "The grey zone".
Note: Comments on the use of "The State and Me" app in the covid vaccination payments, and I suppose a reference to its use as a vaccine passport was omitted.
The app can be used: as an alternative to a plastic Ukrainian ID card, as evidence of residency in Ukraine, and it can be used to enter or exit Ukraine from a foreign country.

Excerpt:-
Ukrainians can already use digital passports in most life situations. They are accepted by CASPs for the provision of public services, government agencies and courts. Digital passports can be used to receive deliveries in the post office, to confirm age in supermarkets, in banks - to confirm identity and cash transactions, as well as to open a bank account online. With digital passports, you can also travel to Ukraine by plane and train, check into a hotel and more.
Digital documents in the smartphone are also used in Poland and South Korea. Similar projects are being implemented in the UK, Finland and the USA. Estonian citizens use a digital ID card, with which they can receive public services online, manage bank accounts and vote online. However, Ukraine is the first country in the world where digital passports in smartphones have legally gained the same force as paper and plastic documents.
In September 2021, Ukraine will begin entering the "paperless" regime - public authorities will not have the right to require paper documents if the necessary information is already in the registers.
