    This seems like a very bad idea from a privacy perspective. As the article mentions, many people stand to lose from identity verification, specifically those with controversial opinions or opinions which are critical of the government. It also mentions that the government can block certain content from being viewed in the UK, which also seems like a policy that is ripe for misuse.

    The article mentions the need to block malicious information, trolls and bad actors online, but this policy seems to go too far for my liking.
