--- Update: motion against these type of locks approved. See https://tukkers.online/@erikkemp/113905271550462222. ---
The housing corporation on the campus of @utwente is planning to replace all locks of ~2500 students living there with digital locks, that you can only unlock with your phone (via NFC).
Some students are very concerned about these plans, so I just went to the UT to talk with @Brian , one of the concerned students.
I'm very curious for replies with privacy / ethics arguments around these digital locks.

Thanks @xot , @mnagenborg , @downey , @stf , @zeno4ever , @egonw and others for your input! The upcoming week there will be a discussion with the residents where I will contribute with some information, including the visions and risks mentioned here. But it's also a fact that this system is running in other places already for some time, and it's planned to get introduced soon, so the question is if enough residents are really planning to do something with it.
More input is still welcome!

Update:
Vanavond stel ik hier vragen over in de gemeenteraad. Veel studenten willen dit niet. Volt Enschede en veel van mijn collega's in de gemeenteraad ook niet.
Meekijken kan rond 18:10 / 18:20 via https://mastodon.social/@raad053/113861169528853017. Het is vraag 3 van de actualiteitenraad (een type raadsvergadering in Enschede voor actuele politieke vragen).

I'm happy that my colleagues in the city council stood up for protecting privacy in Enschede!
No to only entering your house with a smartphone and no to logging that.
