Uncle Sam Wants You to Have an Online ID

As our daily interactions and transactions have become increasingly “wired,” we have yet to see any truly comprehensive attempts at securing online identities.

Our complex system of usernames and passwords is astoundingly outdated and increasingly prone to security breaches and theft. Yet, so far it has been mostly up to the individual to protect himself against various forms of identity fraud—with larger corporations taking relatively little responsibility.

The next election will be run from George Soros’s mainframe.

[BreezyDog]

If that happens I will end up in one of obama’s concentration camps getting reprogrammed...

[poindexter]

Uhhhhhh.....no thanks.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The feds have a dismal record when it comes to data systems, but you wait, they will run ours perfectly.

Just hand your information to your nearest ACORN/Organizing for America representative.

[FrankR]

When that day comes, I will sell my computer, and take up whittling.

BIG BROTHER wants to know WHO is talking bad about him...waaahhhhhhh.

I wonder what he's going to call the American version of the Gestappo? (ACORN, maybe? Ya think?)

Jay Bavisi, co-founder of the EC-Council, writes: "The Identity Ecosystem would allow Americans to choose to obtain a single authenticated ID for online transactions."

"allow Americans to choose to obtain" - what? - their own universal tracking device!

Jay, congratulations, with that meme construction you became a full-fledge totalitarian whore.

[BreitbartSentMe]

Umm, no. Make that HELL NO!!!

[mkjessup]

Those federal idiots are actually trying to make the argument that the program “National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace” is VOLUNTARY.

Sure, voluntary as the program is initiated, wait until they decide to tie it all together to your SSN, TIN, all of that noise, then for “convenience”, how about having it chipped just below the surface of your skin?

****HELL NOOOOO!!!!****

[Popman]

I wonder what the left thinks about this idea?

One would think we actually would have common ground that this is a REALLY, REALLY bad idea.

[paudio]

You mean, minorities, poor, and female should have an ID too? Can we have voter ID law, then? /s

[KevinDavis]

Like hell..

[upchuck]

This from the same group of people who scream NO when a simple picture ID is suggested as a method of ID before voting.

That’s called situational ethics.

[R. Scott]

I already have one. It’s called an IP number.

[ScoopAmma]

See you at camp. I’ll bring marshmallows.

"it has been mostly up to the individual to protect himself against various forms of identity fraud—with larger corporations taking relatively little responsibility."

Mmm...Mmm...Mmm...Just like real life. Tastes like freedom.

"...and collaborate with competitors

Will never happen. Ever.

[yield 2 the right]

ID # will not doubt in some part be “666”
