Obama Eyeing Internet ID for Americans
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-501465_1...37-501465.html STANFORD, Calif. - 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. It's "the absolute perfect spot in the U.S. government" to centralize efforts toward creating an "identity ecosystem" for the Internet, White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt said. ... Schmidt stressed today that anonymity and pseudonymity will remain possible on the Internet. "I don't have to get a credential if I don't want to," he said. There's no chance that "a centralized database will emerge," and "we need the private sector to lead the implementation of this," he said. __________________________________________________ __ "identity ecosystem" lol.. Such a polite euphemism for a terrified government, snooping its ass off. The free wheeling nature of the internet REALLY terrifies these people. Of course, why have an ID if you're not going to move towards censoring political and other views "in the public interest" |
