So many public services have already gone to the "prove you're the public" why not this? Surely they're not collecting data to monetize and track peoples track peoples habits to determine right or wrong think. They just want to make sure you're getting content you want. Trust them to feed you the information you need to know, because you're not capable of understanding uncurated articles. Stay within the box that they provide because they know best.

We need more gatekeeping on public services. You need to present ID to enter a public parks and spaces. You should be required to publicly display a unique identification symbol to travel from place to place and use the public thoroughfares. This is all for your safety and protection. Trust us. We're from the government and we're here to help.
