It would be just another excuse to get the Internet ID implemented. MAFIAA has been pushing for Internet ID since years now and a number of politicians are in favour. Must admit that every time I read about the latest Lulsec activity I cannot help but think that MAFIAA is behind all this.


I'd say the opposite will happen. The government will not be able to set up anything which requires a massive secure database for quite a few years. Every time they claim they can set up a secure database, the 2011 census leak will be brought up.


If they will implement the Internet ID in the same way as they implement their current security (assuming the leak is real), then there is no need to worry...
