> a lot of Internet businesses would have a hard time adjusting to that. Why? The majority of situations where you need an account can be replaced with pseudonymous info. Netflix needs an account and some payment data (which can itself be a pseudonymous card number with no identifying info attached), but it doesn't need to know my name or anything else. I can see that the whole advertising/data broker/"growth & engagement" crowd would end up begging on the streets, but I'm not sure many actually valuable businesses would be affected all that much.
