What's the government going to do with a picture of the ID they, themselves issued to you?

[JoshTriplett]

Associate it with the specific service they don't want you using, or transactions they don't want you making, or conversations and connections they don't want you having.

[Jolter]

Keep in mind for most users of the service, the ID was not issued by the US government.

[SilverElfin]

As an example, the state government may issue a particular ID that I use in several different places. But the federal government did not issue that ID to me.

TIL the US government issued my Swiss passport

[attila-lendvai]

it's one service collecting ID's issued by dozens of governments.

the already too centralized is being made even more centralized here.
