     @glynmoody Why pointless? Having any type of official digital identifier eases online civic involvement.

     @mikechelen because it creates a bureaucracy and control point where none is needed - free email is abundant

     @glynmoody now laugh: a similar "free" account available in Italy too. Can be made official domicile for service of process.

     @glynmoody Support for government identification is a feature that other email providers may not provide.

     @mikechelen sounds like a feature to me (I don't *want* the government handling my identity)

     @glynmoody As long as government identification is still required, it is good at least to include a digital option.
