> The report tells the story of Bendik, who has Down syndrome and is denied BankID, thereby losing access to digital public services due to his diagnosis.

The article is light on details. Are people being denied BankID due to having an autism diagnosis?

There are some crazy details in this story that are presented as side notes in between long paragraphs of filler text that don’t contribute anything. It’s an article where you keep reading expecting some explanations that never arrive.

I'm assuming it fails to do face recognition, but yes the article is clearly very one sided on making 'digital ID' look bad.
