i think of it this way:

in the same way that your cell phone can be used to connect you to friends and family across the world (a cause for good), it can also be used to track every little piece of data by you (NSA collection).

Now think digital ID. [they] want to incorporate your health, wealth, social credit score, social media, job, etc. all to an ID that must be used in order to access society (a cause for evil, [they]).
A similar use of that tech allows for verification of your identity (only in places where we all consent to its use [e.g. voting], while being impossible for someone else to fake an ID. WE will not allow this to be pervasive into the rest of our lives (no vax cards to get groceries), but instead will use the same tech for security of critical infrastructure, not oppression/exclusion from society.

Just my perspective :)
