this sounds like a great idea...

n idea the government has been kicking around since 2011 is finally making its debut. Calling this move ill-timed would be the most gracious way of putting it.

A few years back, the White House had a brilliant idea: Why not create a single, secure online ID that Americans could use to verify their identity across multiple websites, starting with local government services. The New York Times described it at the time as a "driver's license for the internet."

Sound convenient? It is. Sound scary? It is.

Next month, a pilot program of the "National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace" will begin in government agencies in two US states, to test out whether the pros of a federally verified cyber ID outweigh the cons...

Allrightythen!

Do you lose points for excessive porn surfing?

This ideal is invasion of our privacy, if this is the real deal. I'm already being stalked online from Amazon, Google, and Booger (my brother from another mother).

But the program isn't strictly limited to government use. The ultimate goal is a replacement of many logins and passwords people maintain to access content and participate in comment threads and forums. This "solution," while somewhat practical, also raises considerable privacy concerns

Sounds like someone is getting scare up on the hill...

Allrightythen!

Tell us how you really feel.
You have anything else to say about it?

 

[Dcgallim]

Just wait they'll call it the Internet privacy and protection act and it'll pass with flying colors because people are to lazy to see what's actually in the bill and just see the snazzy name as a cause they can get behind.

At first I thought people were just being dicks to him but now I realize all his post are a fragment sentence at best. So SB, Booger, and Joeface carry on.

I think this is something all demographics will fight. The internet is something everyone enjoys, without restrictions.

 

[Tailhunter]

More control.
We will have to ctfu before it's all over but sadly I doubt America has it in her.

Between the TSA and NSA all this will do is sort their database on us for them, such that they don't need analysts to comb through it all to connect the dots. The invasion of privacy on this scale is already over a decade old....what we're witnessing now is merely the first moves of the end game. Consolidation of and defense of the power they've come to possess post-9/11.

This is the nature of government from when the first tribal council of Neandertals met around a camp fire and started scheming among themselves for self-enrichment at the expense of other around that same camp fire.....only now it's much, much worse.

They struggled to launch a website for health care and not share peoples information. I'll take care of my own website log ins thank you.

But its for yall's safety. Think of the children.. ;joint

 

[georgel]

Will we need learner's permits before we get our real licences?

Will we need to go to remedial internet school if we rack up too many violations?


You know, this is all very Orwellian. Digital tracking of all we do. Wait for the mandatory RFID implants for medical care, financial verification, etc. I've been talking about it for years, but everyone laughed and said it couldn't happen.

Warren, I wish you would be right on this one, but so much of the country is so thoroughly brainwashed on the idea of "safety" and "security" that if it is packaged right they will fall for it. People who fight it on the right and left will be marginalized as conspiracy theorists or anti government nuts and folks will just swallow the bait whole. Even if they don't get it through on the first try you know they will be back.

You don't know how much I hope I am wrong.
