It was on several media channels this week. It was reported that back in May this year many Swedes had received chip implants inside their hand allowing them to be recognised by various digital systems, to effect payment or have access to restricted locations, without the need to bear any device (other than the implant), smartphone or card, or to go through a traditional fingerprint or a more recent iris scan.
France-based journalist Pascale Davies wrote: “Thousands of people in Sweden are inserting tiny microchips under their skin,[..they] are supposed to make daily life convenient. They open a perspective to replace traditional keys, cards, IDs” (https://eufactcheck.eu).
