That sounds profoundly stupid. You mean like the credit rating agencies that provide credit worthiness identity, but where you have no control of how and with whom they store your data? So how would that work, how would the companies providing that service make money and how could they prove your identity? They'd still need to use government info like birth certificate/drivers license to verify who you are, but they'd have a profit motive. Of course that sounds better than the government, which doesn't need to sell who you are, providing an identity service.
Why have a useless middleman trying to make money off you?
- okr 4y agoJust take the government and a centralized ID out of the equation and it becomes an interesting problem. And why do i need a big guy, who hands out an ID with a silly watermark, prooving, that it is me? We have families, we have offspring, we have friends, we have relations, that we build over time, this should be proof enough?

So fuck any homeless, people living alone, orphans, etc. ? Not to mention the utter unreliability of relying on random people (who claim they know you) for information like place/date of birth, etc.
