CNET News is reporting that…
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. [emphasis added]
Really? The same government that can’t be bothered with reports of people using Social Security numbers that belong to others is going to create Internet IDs for everyone?
And what is an Internet ID? Another email address? A logon and password to www.irs.gov? An entry in some government database…for…what…purpose?
I don’t know the details and it already seems like a bad idea. What are your thoughts on this?
