Lately, there has been a lot of news about digital identity, and many countries are making regulations and putting in place for this purpose, such as the United Kingdom or Europe, probably with the help of blockchain technology, are we facing a great threat to our privacy hand in hand with CBDCs?

Worldcoin is not to blame, it was merely one of the many tools and pysops to drive humanity towards digital slavery

People giving up their biometric information for a few dollars without knowing what they are agreeing to by receiving Worldcoin, a shame...

They'll say it's for your safety, in exchange you'll lose more rights.

In many places they are starting to phase out cash. Some banks literally are starting to cease any cash services.
It is starting to happen.

We are moving towards a cashless society, I hope Bitcoin will be our escape valve for that time.

They missed an opportunity to say something interesting about the topic -- pretty pedestrian take. But maybe decent opportunity to see how it's being considered by small-time academics.
The philosophy of digital identity would be cool and presumably exists someplace. This guy's dissertation maybe could serve...

You're right, it doesn't say anything really relevant, just a few objections, but the crux of the question is clear, thank you very much for your contribution with that link, I'm going to read it and see what I get out of it.

The battle is binary in nature:
Good vs Evil.
Freedom vs Slavery.
Government vs The people.
Rich vs Poor (or middle class).
Cryptography vs AI.
Etc.
Now, cryptograhy grants freedom, while AI can be used as a tool for control. That is why governments prefer citizens to utilize AI systems than cryptographic ones, especially Bitcoin.
Indeed, global digital identity is a threat not just to privacy but to civilization as well.
