I will postscript with:
1. Yes, for-profit, algorithm-driven social media should be incinerated in a plasma-arc like the hazardous material that it is.
2. Yes, a list of specific ID questions should be formulated so that minimum information transits.
3. Yes, kids are going to find a work-around in about 30 seconds, but at least this way we don't have piles of loose drivers licenses on open Amazon storage buckets.
4. Yes, this involves educating your Member of Parliament on a technical issue when they are probably already thumbing the "call security" button under the desk because the recognize you from your last interaction.
5. Yes, this involves government IT actually having their 💩 together which I do understand is a very unlikely scenario.

@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk @ardaxi@hsnl.social (Sorry... on a roll...) re Point 8, yes it sucks I put that last, I should know better... This architecture could also be set up with "Person/Group A vouches for Person B" for whatever level of trust is required. That might make point 8 go away for cases where you don't want or can't get a full "government level scan" just a "hey, fairly sure this person is a person, group X/admin Y waves them in".
