but whose the "central authority" that you have to provide your ID to? and what happens when that central authority inevitably gets hacked?

    That central authority would, from my understanding, be your government. They already have your information, so if they get hacked you are already screwed ;)

    But they could easily keep track of all the tokens they issued to you, and match them with services you use.

    This has never been about protecting the kids. This is about mass surveillance.
