Ok, what does the venn diagram of:

1) People who anonymize their IP, use Linux, a browser with noscript, etc

2) People who are OK with having a government issued digital id and having to use it to access the internet

...look like, in your opinion?

Well, proof of having an ID can be done anonymously. Cloudflare even worked on a system for that kind of thing.

A non-citizen living in Germany without the German eID because they’re not a citizen. Their country of origin doesn’t have any of that. I guess they don’t exist in that setup? Seems like a steep hill to climb on to solve some random login with captcha problem.

Binding login interaction to some government issued id…who’s entitled here.

Sounds like throwing a baby out with the bathwater.

Then have them go through the captcha process that already exists

Yeah, this is at least being discussed now for eID. Getting it to a point where it is actually usable for everyone and trusted by everyone will not be easy though. But even in the best case, this would cover maybe 5-10% of internet users in 5 years. What do you do with the other 90% ?
