Obama moves forward with Internet ID plan
CNET ^ | April 15, 2011 | Declan McCullagh

Posted on 04/16/2011 10:01:05 PM PDT by UniqueViews

The Obama administration said today that it's moving ahead with a plan for broad adoption of Internet IDs despite concerns about identity centralization, and hopes to fund pilot projects next year.

A 55-page document (PDF) released by the White House today adds a few more details to the proposal, which still remains mostly hazy and inchoate.

It offers examples of what the White House views as an "identity ecosystem," including obtaining a digital ID from an Internet service provider that could be used to view your personal health information, or obtaining an ID linked to your cell phone that would let you log into IRS.gov to view payments and file taxes. The idea is to have multiple identity providers that are part of the same system.

Another concern: Although the White House is describing the NSTIC plan as "voluntary," federal agencies could begin to require it for IRS e-filing, applying for Social Security or veterans' benefits, renewing passports online, requesting federal licenses (including ham radio and pilot's licenses), and so on. Then obtaining one of these ID would become all but mandatory for most Americans.

“...horn removal scars.”

LOLOL!!

Everyone’s lives will be laid out for the masters to view at will. Yet Obama won’t be transparent about his own records.

Barak Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, has an immigration file. Access has been blocked by Homeland Security.

Native born citizens don’t have immigration files.

Internet IDs.....

Inability to buy or sell, without?

In the hand or the forehead?...figuratively speaking, of course.

Once again Bo shows whose drum he's marching to the tune of.....and also the extreme weakness of our congress to stop him....and the drum beat beats louder and still people don't get it!

OK, have no problem with an Internet ID.

The same technology can be used to track the calories consumed by people with a large ass subsidized by taxpayers.
