We definitely need identity attestation in some places. A basic example is when authorising tax return payments. Or when opening a line of credit. Also when getting e.g. a concealed carry license. And similar for government agents executing search warrants, tow truck drivers picking up cars, etc.
Identity attestation isn’t a bad thing per se. It’s just something that can be abused.
- xinayder 3mo agoFor these things you listed what we have already is enough and works. We don't need to authenticate our ID with a 3rd party prone to data leaks, a simple person looking at our ID is good enough for a dealership. Banks already verify your identity as well and don't require you to use a government app. Law enforcement asks for your ID and check it with their database, which is already enough as well. We don't need age attestation for accessing websites.
