Obama Eyeing Internet ID for Americans
2011-01-09
Sooo we can't ask for ID to vote, but you'll be assigned an internet ID, which can be used to track your comments, opinions, sites visited, purchases (for taxes)
President Obama is planning to hand the U.S. Commerce Department authority over a forthcoming cybersecurity effort to create an Internet ID for Americans, a White House official said here today.
the part I liked least:
"We are not talking about a national ID card," U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said at the Stanford event. "We are not talking about a government-controlled system. What we are talking about is enhancing online security and privacy and reducing and perhaps even eliminating the need to memorize a dozen passwords, through creation and use of more trusted digital identities."
