Is it only me, or are half of the companies interested in a similar model.

Media streaming, online shopping, banking, or social media are all very interested in your real identity and a strict controlling their interaction with you.

Some social media is interested in my real identity. Reddit, and to some extend twitter is not. Reddit doesn't even care if you have multiple accounts, as long as it is not to evade bans.

Bankers are only interested in my actual identity because the government force them to.

Amazon is only interested in my identity to sell me stuff.

That'll change. Reddit wants to IPO. Twitter might want to make money eventually.

IETF already opened up this can of worms with their DRM schemes now part of the Web standard. China is just taking the next logical step here.
