No, my argument is that requiring ID for the Internet is really really really fucking stupid
They already have your name, phone number, age, gender and face... and are also tracking your every click and interest, every pause on scrolling, hover of your mouse, your relationships, where you were yesterday, the day before, what you buy....
How is that argument at all related to this conversation or the bill? What are you talking about? If this bill passes you will not require ID to user the Internet in Canada. Have you read the bill?
