That's exactly the point. The coming technology will be used to justify government sanctioned identity.
But once everyone is uniquely identified, they can be uniquely punished. Think about the autocratic control by corporations today, with their limited scope. Now give that power to the government, across every property on the internet and off, with the ability to automate the process of punishment and banishment.
It will make the pandemic Government Department of Truth and the resulting censorship look quaint. The tools are coming, and the authoritarian predilections of government aren't going to resist using them to the fullest.
