And how does she intend to do this? Am I gonna have to fax my driver's license to every website I create an account at?

It's a tool to oppress dissent.

Realistically, you can't enforce the law, but if you find an anonymous account for anything on someone's phone or laptop, you can easily arrest or fine them.

And they'll have about as much success

They’ll keep trying until they win. It will be relatively easy for them to win on corporate social media. They largely have already have won, if you’ve continued to follow Matt Taibbi’s Twitter Files.

The final frontier will be the non-corporate fediverse: Atlantic Council: Collective Security in a Federated World

Only if it's a federally approved REAL ID license.

She will consult China for that. A Beacon of democracy!

Create laws for social media sites to validate identity or force them through something like login.gov with il2 verification. More and more federal services are starting to use them for managed identity.

Great question!

A National internet ID of course!

it might be called a Crypto-quantum-cyber-safety-passcode and you'll need to use it in any site that collects and stores data about you. It will be for your safety!

Speaking of...

Has it ever been explored to pen a modern day update similar to , or to  the constitution (amendment)?

(It would add new things) which could  prevent future stupid laws and the encroachment of individual privacy and how other entities can collect, store, use and sell one's data and metadata they create. It would also avoid wasting of resources..


I'm sure there are other modern things today that the founding fathers could never  have imagined at the time  - but you better believe they would have included if they had the slightest idea!

The tough part is that it would need to be well thought out and reasonable (and practical) 


Otherwise, it will always be a knee jerk defensive reaction to all this nonsense all the time. It's exhausting and a waste of $
