The German movement "Digitalcourage" has coined the term "Digitalzwang" 
(compulsory digitalisation) for this feature. For instance, some public 
funding programmes cannot be used unless you have access to a PC (a 
smartphone is not sufficient) hooked up to the internet.

Digitalcourage support responsible digitalisation by offering help in the 
usage of secure authorisation and encryption but strictly disapproves of 
any form of compulsory digitalisation. People who refuse using public data 
networks, whatever their motives, must have equal rights as everybody 
else.
