Catherine Austin Pitts, an investment banker and former assistant to the US housing secretary, warns against turning digital identity into a means of total control.

In February 2026, the government announced a food pilot in Puducherry: digital subsidy tokens will be accepted only by authorized sellers for allocated grains. The central bank issues money, the state plan determines the permitted purchase. Transferring restrictions from targeted assistance to ordinary income will allow purchases outside the specified area to be prohibited. The state can deal with taxes even more directly - keep it within the payment. Brazilian Law No. 214 of January 2025 requires the payment intermediary to separate IBS and CBS GST when settling the transaction. Before transferring the funds to the seller, the broker checks with the fiscal authorities the tax due. This part of the proceeds goes directly to the state. The tax service scheduled inspections for October 15, 2026 without actual deletions. The rates are set by the legislature.

To turn such rule enforcement into behavior management, the authority would have to oblige the buyer to monitor. A digital ID allows the restriction to be referred to a specific person. Artificial intelligence, when accessing relevant records, will be able to compare its actions with specified criteria. If the state determines that the result will be used for acceptance for payment, the refusal will become automatic.
