Yep, that's why I suggested the biometric ID. But I agree, it's dystopian. I think such a system would encourage the development of two parallel webs: the above-ground, requires-ID-for-every-http-request web (Facebook, Amazon), and a somewhat shadier, sometimes-or-never-requires-ID-except-in-exceptional-circumstances internet. Kind of like how bars and grocery stores are supposed to verify your age, but many don't. Or kind of like how there's large swathes of the country where people drive around without driver's licenses or insurance, and it isn't an issue unless they end up in an accident.
