@TimWardCam@c.im I'm all for authentication and verification, when there's a point, when it adds something, when it actually makes things better.
When it becomes a invasive privacy issue for citizens that are already under surveillance by governments *and* tech giants, it's not quite the same thing.
Rule #1: Politicians should need to understand what they're actually trying to pass laws for, and how that works in reality.
Rule #2: See Rule #1

@joho@mastodon.online I did always try to follow rule #1 when passing laws as an elected politician (councillors don't get to pass much in the way of laws, but planning policies count as they have legal force and real effects on real people).
