Don't know why the article got flagged, the topic is interesting.<p>I see a main problem here. I wouldn't ever want such an ID and the risk outweigh the benefits. Anonymity serves us far better. It is a solution to a problem while creating even more and more significant problems. Maybe less significant for lawyers, but certainly for the average person.<p>Step two is that services would be required to demand your unique ID for something trivial as age verification. I am not supporting our political executives here. As long as this gets rejected like the old eIDAS, I don't see this getting anywhere.<p>The trust not to abuse such ID systems is just not there. That wound is self-inflicted and should not be forgotten.
