    I don’t like the concept of basic internet usage becoming a “know your customer” situation. If they advance this crap, they are just setting up future framework for a social credit score system. It should be very telling that your privacy is an expendable commodity to both major parties.

        That’s true, although it seems like it’s not quite as transparent to institutional users and politicised as that implies.
