So how is she going to make them non-anonymous in a way that businesses can properly verify identity? Does every single social media site need to have its own ID analysis system for every state-ID? I mean that seems like it would be ridiculously hard.

For that to be practical, they'd need something nation-wide, and probably digital.

So, does she want to suggest to her fanbase a national digital ID? How would htat go?

To be fair, we all already use a national id with the social security numbers.

So pretty simply, the government would set up a SS number verification API, tech companies would call that, and use it to verify who you are.

It's a terrible idea and I hate it, but that's probably how it would work.

Fuck that. We need to move away from using SSN for literally every-fucking-thing

[–] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It's funny because the SS card explicitly states it shouldn't be used for identification purposes.
