It's not about the passport data itself, but about the fact that you have logged in to a website with your eID. That's what it's all about. And that has major consequences. Where does Big Tech obtain this data? From the websites of companies that offer us something for which we need the eID. No matter how sophisticated the government's trust network is, this data theft only happens afterwards: at the thousands of companies to which we show our eID.

eID and Big Tech: the unrecognized danger. Do you remember Monika Amgwerd's appearance on Arena on September 5, 2025? On the voting flyers of her party, Digital Integrity, the mega nightmare is at the top of the list: Big Tech! In the Arena, Amgwerd has often warned of the hidden problem that our data will be lying around at countless companies, from where it can easily fall into the hands of Big Tech.

Where did Amgwerd get this true information? She has invested two thousand hours in gathering information, especially outside the bubble, for example at participation meetings where the federal government provided a lot of insight, where I also gathered information and from which, for example, the video was created about how the federal government had previously commissioned the German Fraunhofer Institute to find out in which areas the eID would be worthwhile for Switzerland.

In an interview with Schweizer Zeit on September 24 entitled “Security expert warns,” computer scientist Christian Huber lists three points—and before the third most dangerous point, Big Tech, the interview ends. He is unable to elaborate on his most important third point, Big Tech.

In general, very little is reported about this extremely important point. But it is crucial. I have been an IT entrepreneur for thirty years. For three years, I have been running the domain blog.muinar.ch, which is about how Big Tech takes our data. Big Tech also generously takes data from us with eID. Not the passport data itself, but the fact that we have logged into a website with eID. I think that's an important distinction. It's not about the passport data itself, but about the fact that you have logged into a website with your eID. That's what it's about. And that has major consequences.

Where does Big Tech get this data? From the websites of entrepreneurs who offer us something for which we need the eID. No matter how sophisticated the government's trust network is, this data theft only happens afterwards at the thousands of companies to which we show our eID. At WordPress websites that send their own visitor data to Silicon Valley, in their Excel spreadsheets and Word documents that are stored in the Office365 cloud in the US. In the end, the data always ends up with Big Tech, with Google and Co., now with a passport, with official certification that you have logged in with your eID, that you are who you say you are.

On blog.muinar.ch, I have been describing for years how data theft works on WordPress and other ready-made websites. What is a ready-made website? A website that is pre-programmed, into which you fill text and images and then upload it to the server so that it is online. Ready-made websites are available from WordPress, Jimdo, Joomla, and other companies. They have numerous Google tools already built in, which send the data of your *own* visitors directly to Silicon Valley by making setup convenient and integrating various Google services, such as Google Fonts, Google Maps, YouTube videos, and others.

This is, of course, exactly what Google and Co. intend: convenience in exchange for data! That's the whole principle. And traditionally programmed websites in HTML are still surveillance-free. This data transfer from WordPress and Co. to Silicon Valley takes place all the time. Every day, every week, all year round. The data of *your* visitors and that of almost all websites around the world. The entire process, the various ways in which the data ends up in Silicon Valley, has been described on blog.muinar.ch for a good three years.

Google and Co. have the big picture. They see movements all over the world. What's new with eID: official certification by the states for the transmitted data, the passport, so to speak. You log in with your eID and Google and Co. see it. Google and Co. can see whether you are identifying yourself on a website with your eID, because they can easily determine from the website code which websites offer something in exchange for presenting your eID. And they can then see exactly whether someone is clearing this hurdle or not. This officially certified data is now worth much more on the global market for cookies and user data. And this is where the great unrecognized danger lies.

Less in government surveillance or the Chinese social credit system, but in the fact that our official passport data, which is hardly ever requested today, except perhaps when crossing borders, is becoming an integral part of the internet: in the databases of Big Tech, where almost all data streams ultimately end up. At Google and Co., which are
basically surveillance corporations.

There is an American saying: He who knows you, owns you. The new slavery consists of Big Tech knowing you inside out, your interests, your pulse with Google Watch, and with digital currencies, what you spend your money on day in, day out. The state, and specifically the National Bank, knows your expenses in Swiss francs, but not in all the other digital currencies, such as the digital euro, digital dollar, ruble, renminbi, yuan, and all the non-governmental digital currencies that will exist. These are, of course, competitors to government currencies. But there is one player that knows all these expenses: Big Tech, Google, and the like.

Are you beginning to sense the immense danger that lurks here? Not hackers who steal data from a domain. Not the state, which may be secretly watching you via a Trojan horse. Twenty years ago, there was already state surveillance and theft. This is about something that is orders of magnitude greater, more ultimate. It is a service you trust every day. Google, for which humanity has created a verb: to google. A global corporation that has programmed numerous free tools with which WordPress and Co. send it your visitor data – every day, all year round, right now, as a matter of fact.

This theft takes place millions of times a day, to each and every one of us. Yet it is never discussed. Or perhaps that is precisely why. This theft is infinitely more extensive, already a reality today. It never makes it into the media – and that is also part of the strategy.

While the Swiss government is proud, or can be proud, of the decentralized data on mobile phones with eID, with Big Tech everything ultimately comes together centrally again. Via the companies that offer us something in exchange for presenting our eID; they have a WordPress or other website that sends the data to Silicon Valley or stores Word files via Office365, for example schools. They have a shop that also sends the data to Silicon Valley because the shop software they have purchased is designed to work with the various digital currencies that can only be recorded and evaluated by Big Tech as a whole.

Big Tech is therefore the real danger behind the eID. This is also where the sudden demand in several countries comes from. In these countries, the data ultimately converges again, enhanced with passport information. A booster for international data trading! Until now, it was rarely necessary to prove your identity. In the future, anti-social media and other media, Swisscom, SBB, and all the others who can sell us something against the eID will require this data.

The internet will then be a real spider's web where you can get caught. And that is the meaning of *web*. Otherwise, it would be called World Wide *Net*. And that's another story.
