Nope, you are not paranoid, that’s exactly what will happen, since the patriot act, both “Terrorism” and “not the children” are the main excuses to undermine and attack privacy online, soon you won’t be able to use any online services without attaching your ID, but that’s only temporary until they make the digital ID -in Canada there’s already a bill about it (1)-, hence the push for it especially after covid digital passports and how they can be used to attack such privacy (2), and making the process of violating this anonymity easier, but the worst part in my opinion isn’t just the online side, but the offline one, as soon as such digital ID is implemented, the gap between the online usage and offline one will vanish, your bank account and taxes are linked to what you post online for example, and just a single query on your name and all what you do online and offline is on screen.
