RE: Should internet have a digital I.D..
I think it's a brilliant idea to be honest. They can't implement it fast enough. Specially where it concerns children, I think much more should be done to make sure they can surf the net safely, without being too restricting as a parent, children still learn by being stimulated to explore, so it's well needed that they can explore in a safe way.
When you get older, you often don't realise how dangerous the net can be for ten year olds for example. When you were younger, you were easy to be tricked and influenced in doing things. Kids are taught to obey adults, but on the internet they can't see who to listen to or not. Of course the parents are responsible, but often the parents aren't that computer illiterate either. Does the child have to suffer because of that? Thought so.
With an ID card, it'd be easier for parents and schools for example to restrict what the kids can see, or do. And hopefully it will be easier to educate parents about their responsibility if they don't have to have a fair amount of knowledge to protect their offspring on the internet, and less easy for the kid to bypass the restrictions placed upon them.
