    I'm all for a digital passports. Trolls, hackers & pussies are the only people who would fear it.

    I mean Google/Facbook know exactly who you are and WTF you are doing anyway.

    Lets make it legit. Total freedom of speech should come with it too. Doesn't matter if you are a anti-vaxxer, flat-earther or Nazi. Freedom of speech under your a real identity. This would probably all need to come under a government issued username/email address.

    God, have I just realised I'm a fascist.

    • That was my fear, it's a facisity. But this is why we can't have nice things.monoboy
    • But I fear half the people sharing this type of shit are doing for attention. With accountability, those that do might even do a little research first.monoboy
    • Damn, how quickly you adopt fascism when presented with a problem. We can do better!nb
    • The other half don't exist.monoboy
    • The anti-vaxxer stuff is case study in itself. It originated in Russia.monoboy
    • Typing too fast. Bad grammar.monoboy
    • Published by a doctor, who was held accountable (somewhat). Didn’t stop the morons from moroningnb
    • I don't think it's fascist but isn't there a basic freedom of expression that you get from being anonymous?yuekit
    • if you forced all people to the passport violently, yeah...fascist. (but no u didnt)eddieScissors
    • "freedom of expression that you get from being anonymous" One of the most terrifying things I've ever read.Hayzilla
    • We do it with driving cars, why not surfing the internet? Imagine every car driver being completely anon.Hayzilla
    • People ARE anonymous though until they do something illegal. Then the cops might pull them over and check their license.yuekit
    • Same as the internet. If you commit a crime, the authorities can almost always figure out who you are by tracking your IP address, location etc.yuekit
    • Actually I just realized no one here really explained what they mean by "internet ID." Is it to be able to look up who posted something behind the scenes?yuekit
    • Or is the idea that your real name would be publicly visible alongside everything you post? Because I think the second one is going way too far -- it would beyuekit
    • the equivalent of forcing people in real life to walk around with name tags.yuekit
