I think this has to do a lot with the recent massive clusterfuck of a shitshow that is the IDScan breach.

Recently a group of hackers (presumably from Russia) breached a database from a Louisiana-based ID verification service called IDScan which is a service that provides ID verification for restricted goods and services like car rentals, checking into hotels and casinos, alcohol purchases, cannabis and tobacco purchases, retail pickups, and even some banks.

This isn't some stupid script kiddies trolling random people for a laugh, these are hackers that pulled off what is arguably the dox of the century where half of the Canadian population has now been doxed and half of the American population has now been doxed too.

Over 150 million government issued IDs and driver's licenses have been stolen and were put up for sale on the darknet until the darknet service selling this stolen information pulled the plug (probably due to things getting too hot as this has made international news with the FBI now investigating this matter and I'm sure they're working with their international law enforcement partners to find the perpetrators).

What makes this story big is that Pete Hegseth (the current Secretary of Defense) has also been doxed because of this breach (his ID was listed on the darknet for sale too). This truly is the dox of the century.

We haven't seen a dox like this since Equifax where they were negligent with their cybersecurity and suddenly their customers got doxed and exposed to criminals.

In a morbid way, I hope more shit like this happens. I don't condone criminal activity but I just want to see the stupid tech-illiterate boomers in power that still think IDs to access the Internet is a "good idea" get humiliated in incidents like these because of their short-sighted stupidity. I want to see these stupid boomers in power with their smug arrogant faces get humiliated time and time again when their stupid laws that they wrote put people in grave danger and fuck with people's lives because these tech-illiterate boomers don't want to understand the fact that there is no such thing as unhackable.

This should serve as a hard lesson for the idiots in power that criminals do not care about their well-intended "Think of the Children" policies and they will abuse said well-intended policies for financial gain and ruin people's lives.

Privacy is not just a shield against retarded governments that think they know more than you, privacy is also a shield against the psychos and scumbags of the world that want to hurt you too.

Eventually one of these online age verification services will get ratted. You will end up having not just your ID or face scan leaked, but also a list of every site you verified for.

Imagine your employers being able to scan your face or your ID and use an advanced AI-driven data breach search engine to search leaked verification records to see if records of you visiting nhentai, e-hentai, fakku, rule34 or even gelbooru pop up.

Hence why I think the inevitable will happen when this push to have IDs for everything on the Internet will come to a screeching halt because reality will come knocking on the front door of the delusional idiots that still support ID for the Internet.

Let's look at why ID for the Internet is a fucking terrible idea.

The first obvious thing here is the fact that centralized databases of sensitive information is often the target of threat actors that want this (as we've seem them trying to sell the stolen IDs for 100 dollars a pop). There is a financial incentive as to why criminals want to hack into these databases.

The second and more obvious reason on why ID for the Internet laws are terrible, they pose a massive national security threat. Pariah states in general (like Iran, North Korea, Russia, China, and Belarus) love these kinds of centralized databases in the West because they have plenty of incentive to do so; to bypass Western sanctions by stealing IDs to get access to Western assets, to demoralize the West to show that they can touch citizens of the Western world, and to humiliate the West by showing Western power is an 'illusion' with hacks like these.

The fact that Pete Hegseth has been affected by this shows me that this is no longer just a privacy and free speech issue anymore, this has now become a serious national security issue.

Darknet criminals and pariah nations love useful idiots that are in power in the West that champion ID laws for the Internet because they know it makes their jobs easier to have this sensitive information be right there for the taking, warped up like a birthday present.

If you've ever watched videos by the LockPickingLawyer, a common theme in his videos is whenever he obtains some electronic lock or some other lock that has some fancy gimmick to make them more "secure", he always manages to easily unlock them with ease (especially if you use the hammer method to unlock those overpriced locks) because the more parts something have, then the more there will be a single point of failure being present. Hence why the best security often follows the KISS Principle where often the best security is usually the simplest (the KISS Principle stands for Keep It Simple Stupid which is an OPSEC term first coined by the U.S. Navy back in the 1960's on how you should see security which is obliviously relevant now).

If privacy concerns and free speech concerns won't make the arrogant politicians drop the ID for the Internet grift because of 'muh-Think of the Children' then maybe national security will make these stupid boomers finally snap back to reality. Because criminals and pariah states only see Western culture war warriors with short-sighted policies for the Internet as complete dumbases that only makes the job of threat actors far easier to hurt Americans and Westerners in the long run.
