Mark my words: in ten years from now on, the Chinese web will be more free and open than any Western country.

In China they have solved this issue already by having every website log in with your phone number which is already directly tied to your Chinese ID.

Problem is some countries don't lock down their phone numbers this far so for this to work you have to whitelist country codes which have secured phone numbers.

Isn't half the reason companies push for these sorts of controls is so they are allowed by the Chinese government to do business there?
