This is a real ID system for everybody. Because how these companies such as Meta have trackers in most commercial web pages, it will mean more definite attribution of site visitors.
The silver lining is this could encourage more people to use the fediverse which has no ID requirement other than an email address and no tracking.

- kornhole 4y agoThat would be nearly impossible to implement and enforce with many thousands of instances.

- morkalork 4y agoThey won't have to enforce it on thousands. Just make an example of a few poor saps within the country and most will shut down. And the US loves to make examples out of people. Just look at how people were charged and given hysterically ridiculous sentences in the war on drugs.
