    I think its a step towards decentralizing the internet and requiring government backed profiles to access it by having all your online access linked to a profile that is linked to your real world information.

      It’s wild because back in the day they told us don’t let anyone know your real name or where you live if you can help it. Now it’s let’s see your driver’s license to verify you before you can look at cat videos…

      But how much of this is actually new trying to build a world order and how much is just ignorance in the capabilities of the technology of the members of the Senate and House of Commons

      Requiring a centralized auth is not decentralization.
