    Why is it only for Americans? Why not the rest of the world while we're at it?

    From a glance, it doesn't look like it will be mandatory, but I'm not getting one. I know "they" can already go through our computer without us knowing and with their high technology, but I don't want to make it easier for them - so easy as a type of my ID number to their system.

    Imagine later on in years, if it does become mandatory, having to apply to a job or school and they ask for your internet ID number as part of a background check. Ok that was a little far-fetched. lol

    It's really not that far-fetched. Someone posted on here about employers asking for access to applicants' social networking accounts. Check out this article about law enforcement agencies asking for passwords, screennames, and even texts and email logs.

    I don't see how this would really affect webcamming. It is supposed to enhance security and privacy. Webcam sites go to great lengths to ensure our privacy... it's not like if we use this card all of a sudden customers will be able to find out our real names & addresses.

    Or maybe I'm missing something...

    So, if this comes around, we wont be able to hide our identity from our online customers?

    Oh, I wasn't serious. Sorry, just making some social commentary.

    But yeah, this shouldn't affect us at all. I think it's mostly for people that would like to be able to prove that they are who they say they are on the internet. Or something like that.

    You would still have the ability to remain anonymous on the internet as this proposed plan would not be a requirement, just an option for those who don't want to have to remember a variety of website passwords...

    White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt stressed today that anonymity and pseudonymity will remain possible on the Internet. "I don't have to get a credential, if I don't want to," he said. There's no chance that "a centralized database will emerge," and "we need the private sector to lead the implementation of this," he said.

    ^^^ Mr. Schmidt's comments all apply to internet anonymity / pseudonymity that is independent of financial transactions !!!

    It's entirely possible that a US Internet ID could be required for internet activities where financial payments are involved ... i.e. webcam girls, pay websites, web merchandise sales etc. The legal authority necessary to implement this already exists under the Patriot Act as well as the new ObamaCare law.
