I see a lot of people discussing this as a negative for big tech, but to me it seems like the biggest gift governments could give them. Right now they either don't demand real identity or they have to justify in ways that try to hide their real intent - your real identity makes you a much cleaner and more valuable data point for monetisation and other user-hostile aims. If this passes they can just point the finger at government and blame them. Instead of people being outraged at Facebook for demanding a picture of their driver's license, Facebook will just be saying "Legal requirements in your country demand that we do this" and all the outrage will be directed at government. Unless politicians are smart enough to also propose a technical framework that prevents it happening, this seems like a boon for big tech.
