> De facto id will be a massive step backwards, if they move forward despite saying they most likely wouldn't Ah, yes, I too trust government to keep their words. Pinky promises and all that. > but not as far backwards as raising a generation on reactionary and divisive social media This is your opinion. You use of "reactionary" in this context implies that whatever views are being shared, you are against them. Instead of winning over people, you prefer the easy solution which is to silence them. That is not very democratic of you. Finally if you think that the "division" that most western societies are experiencing currently is only due to social media, then you haven't bothered researching theses topics. These problems that are coming to light now have been a long time in the making. In reality decades, but before the governing powers could simply pretend that they did not exist whereas now, it is plain sight. Silencing opposing voices is not moral and it is delusional to think that this will fix the broken state of western democracies just like sweeping the dust under the carpet doesn't mean that your apartment is clean.
