In the future I was referring to. I don't know by whom, maybe government, maybe some kind of employers' union. Maybe it's one of those things that just happen in a bad way by themselves, even though nobody really wants them, because it comes packaged with some benefit that seems to overrule the bad thing among the masses, yet lead to serious consequences later, such as the surveillance and locked-down-ness of smartphones.

So you don't know what it will actually be, or who will enforce it, just that it might be bad? I'm not sure I understand what your point even is, or how it relates to Nostr specifically. What are you actually trying to get at? Having an identity at all is a problem? How is that unique to Nostr, when those systems already exist today, and have for decades?
