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.

Exactly.
Hey, you POS POTUS - how 'bout you show us YOUR ID.
Who the hell are you?
In the Liberals’ America you will need an ID to read an eMail but not to be president.
You will need an ID to do a crossword puzzle online but not to order a military invasion of another country.
You will need an ID to buy flowers on the internet but not to spend $10 trillion dollars on wealth redistribution schemes.
You will need an ID to read a blog but not to read The State of the Union message from a teleprompter.
You will need an ID to apply for a job online but not to hire 30 “Czars” at a cost of millions of dollars.
Was that cover letter written by Bill Ayers?
Papiere, bitte.
The Usurper (I am no longer addressing him as Kenyan as no one knows where he is from) is trying to push Orwell onto us at lightening speed. This is unacceptable, period.
This maggot must be not re-elected, it will kill the nation forever.
Tell me about it. My whole family in California has been turned into zombies for Obama. I can hardly talk to them anymore.
Thank goodness that I'm 1,500 miles away in Texas.
No ID needed to vote ya know. Can’t have that.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
It’s said so much, but can you imagine if Bush did this?
The number one threat of internet security is identity theft.
At best, this idea is criminally stupid.
Its odd that they would attempt to rob us of our animosity when in our very foundation our founders frequently wrote under presudo names in order to spread ideas and engage in the free exchange of ideas.
Every aspect of the internet is speech, even when one agrees to buy a product one is only speaking such agreement. The actual exchange of goods and services take place in the real world via banks and mail.
History repeating. We've seen it in many throughout history, from their early beginnings up to their complete totalitarianism control. It's happening again.
Obama is a classic example. He is quickly edging beyond control.
What's the solution? I don't know. But I no longer think it's at the ballot box.
Police State crapola.
Freedom for Libyans, enslavement for Americans.
What’s up with this guy?
“No one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.” Revelation 13:17,18
Could you imagine the outcry by the liberals and the media if this were being done by G.W. or any other Republican President. The Lame Stream Media is lower than whale s - - t!
The tax system is “voluntary” also.
The federal government doesn’t know what the word means.
Maybe some of us will get our 15 minutes of fame on the new DHS reality TV show? Will we get to met Big Sis in person? Will she do the voice overs? Inquiring minds and all that.
