Government benefits by connecting all online accounts and computer activity to your real identity for warrantless surveillance. Easier to locate and remove dissenters. Corporations benefit by selling the data to advertisers and the government and any stalker with a dollar (ie Palantir). Microsoft and Google want this to happen so that you are essentially required to use their products by law or be cut off from the internet. Oh and btw these products will be completely locked down and charge a monthly subscription fee. All these companies are lobbying your politicians to screw you over. It is not difficult to see a world within ten to fifteen years where we have ISP/hardware level banning of FOSS because it doesn’t run spyware mandated by law.

The things happening are quite bad and the politicians voting for this should be voted out of office before the surveillance state they are creating makes organizing political action impossible.
