Stand up for internet privacy!!
Have you heard? The US government is developing virtual ID cards for Internet users -- and they could pose a severe threat to our privacy!
The proposal is called the "National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace” and the draft indicates that we'd be forced to use them for any online transactions with the government, and for online interactions with businesses that choose to use them.
If the system is fully implemented you'll have one centralized online ID, making it even easier to track your online activity: Officials need to make sure any proposal maintains Americans' rights to privacy and anonymity.
Please don't spread misinformation. The gov't is forming a committee with the focus of giving online consumers a higher level of security with online transactions. The gov't is NOT issuing online IDs. The gov't is asking the private sector to offer solutions to consumers, one idea of which is to have an "ID validation" system for online transactions.
