We've been rolling along with weak IDs on the internet since the beginning. Strong, secure identification would change the nature of most of these problems. It would make anonymity a choice instead of an illusion, you want to be anonymous, you have to work at it. As things are, people think they're anonymous, but they really aren't - and yet most services treat people as if they are anonymous so people tend to act that way.
wrong. it would take away the choice.
Yeah I guess one could do Tor over a VPN and that would do the trick.
