I've noticed a lot of controversy in Western societies about introducing ID numbers. Since I live in a country that adopted this system decades ago, let me give you a heads up on a few things:
Every single time you sign up for something, you'll experience hell.
Site operators will also experience hell trying to manage all that personal data.
You'll see news about personal data breaches pouring in almost every day.
Using issue #3 as an excuse, they'll demand even more personal information under the pretext of better distinguishing identity theft from legitimate use.
Idiots won't realize this whole mess stems from government policies that force companies to collect personal data in the first place—instead, they'll blame companies for "failing to manage it properly," causing social division.
Enormous amounts of time and manpower will be wasted handling personal data that never would have been leaked if it hadn't been collected in the first place.
Under the pretext of protecting personal information, government intervention in corporate operations will expand dramatically
