White House Wants Chinese-Style ID System For Internet Users | RedFlagNews.com
Testing is set to begin next month on a pilot program that could lead to the introduction of a Chinese-style ID system for Internet users, an identity ecosystem that critics fear would create a backdoor to government regulation of the world wide web.
The White Houses National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace would replace the current system of using passwords to access sensitive online accounts with something akin to a biometric ID card that would link one individual to all their government services, such as food stamps, welfare as well as a myriad of other things like mortgage applications and applications for licenses.
The original proposal was quick to point out that this isnt a federally mandated national ID. But if successful, it could pave the way for an interoperable authentication protocol that works for any website, from your Facebook account to your health insurance company, writes Meghan Neal, warning that the proposal is a scary can of worms to open.
The scope of the program could eventually be expanded into an ID card to access the Internet itself, greasing the skids for every citizen to require government permission to use the world wide web, a privilege that could be denied to criminals, accused terrorists and other undesirables, which according to federal government literature includes people who hold certain anti-establishment political beliefs.
The program bears more than a passing resemblance to a 2007 proposal by China that threatened to force bloggers to register their real identities and personal details via a single centralized ID system as a means for the Communist government to control information and punish dissenters.
