@smellythief@mstdn.party @smellythief@mstdn.party For other countries what you suggest works. But the US doesn't have a national ID and likely won't. We shouldn't have the REAL ID for voting as it is since it is merely another layer of voter suppression.
As for FCC regs: now you're looking at an entirely different kettle of fish because this would mean legislation changing status of internet services to match that of publicly-owned broadcast bandwidth, or telecom which is common carrier.

@femme_mal@mstdn.social I was just giving an example of an exception we accept to the 1st Ammendment. I personally don’t think it should be absolute, and that was one example of how we currently don’t treat it as such, though we come closer than other countries of course. But legally allowing oversight of speech on one government-operated internet-base service would actually not require the same application to all internet services, esp if the law was written that way.
