Firstly, I'm not from the US. Secondly, I don't agree that forcing bunch of random web sites and apps (i.e. not government or banking sites/apps) to demand ids from their users is a "reasonable environment".
It’s quite simple really - you have the choice not to use those services. I don’t get what the anger is about here.
Luckily, they aren't doing that - the Australian law actually bans them from demanding IDs, unless they provide an alternative as well.
Here is the law: https://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display....
