I think its that some anonymity gives safety from the government.

IE during WW2 Holland kept such meticulous records on its citizens that it indirectly leads to the greatest numbers of imprisoned ethnic groups ( because the information was there , easily accessible by the invading forces.

I think thats a good example of how too much info results in vulnerability for citizens.

I dont have an opinion on this just sharing what I think is a good example.

Drivers licenses are effectively already being used as state ID cards in all but name, so it's not as if the government doesn't already have that information.

I was about to moan at you, but you have an excellent point.

oh wait, its because then they can just arrest everyone for having wrong opinions online as its a digital centralised system.

Im sure its already linked behind the scenes perhaps this is just finishing the job perhaps I dont know
