You could try wordle on it. But from my own experience all of them are pretty bad. They're not smart enough to pick up the colours represented as letters. The only one that actually was good was Qwen surprisingly.

But the government can already do all that without Digital ID. That's my question with the fear mongering.

A hostile government can already link your data from all sorts of places. Digital ID at least helps us for more security.

Without Digital ID + Hostile Government you have the worst of both worlds.
