The European Union is proposing an electronic government ID system for using the internet

Following is a summary of this Infowars article

In June the European Commission published a draft document outlining a proposed online electronic ID system which would be used by each European citizen to identify and authenticate themselves online.  The document calls for the ID credentials to be “issued or recognized by national public authorities, such as electronic or mobile IDs, national identity cards, or bank cards.”

While such a system may sound as if it would be convenient, it would actually set a dangerous precedent for the political establishment to track and trace everything that Europeans say and do online, including online shopping, and it would destroy online anonymity. [Other risks also exit such as potential for increased harm caused by identity theft due to the ID being centralized to all online activity.]
