I don't see how you would ever implement this technically.
Also, people on Facebook use their real names and when you see a Facebook comments section it's still a cesspool more often than not.
The real problem is the media, culture and just basic human nature. It goes way beyond whether you login with your real name or not.
- It's already underway in Scotland. I think the EU are on it too.monoboy
- The purpose of the eID is to verify the user rather than directly identify them. Making it very difficult to sing up to things like facebook.monoboy
- Facebooks last public estimate in 2018 indicated that there are 118m fake accounts.monoboy
- Govs need to do something as physical passports, driving licenses, tax, National insurance are all going digital anyway.monoboy
- The downside is, everything you sign up to will be recorded against your name by your Gov.monoboy
- Yeah, there was a point a few years back I was worried that Google/FB IDs would become de facto identity passports on 3rd party sites.Nairn
- But are Scotland and EU using this to stop trolling? Or just as a way to verify your identity when for instance you access a government site?yuekit
- Thankfully that's not, yet at least, come to pass. Not sure I'd be any more comfortable with a government issued equivalent. more likely, much less so.Nairn
- Both. Two birds scenario.monoboy
- The EU could make it law for companies that store user data like FB and Twitter to enable eID for signups and logins.monoboy
- Sturgeon is worried her little secret gets out,.SwordDesign
