MODERATORS
This article is a not sense. There is not a monopoly of identity: a lot of corporations and big tech have an ID about us or, at least, about me.
Also, in my case, the state have paid most of my education, my healthcare, the street where I live... nor google not other big tech have paid a dime for it.
The critic in the article has his points, but the proposed solution—using capitalist enterprises to issue IDs—is nonsense. We will lose track of people from a fiscal point of view, and it will not solve the problem of the people that not any corporation would issue an ID.
