Fastest way to get me to never use your site again. I’d rather deal with a few trolls and bots than have to give my ID to every site I want to interact with. That’s some ridiculously invasive stuff right there. Turning every website into their own private Big Brother is the opposite of progress.

Well, if you’re not bullying other people in the comments I’d say you’d be fine. What if your hospital’s database gets hacked and all your private health issues are public? Will you stop seeking healthcare in hospitals? The whole world is based on trust.
Moreover, I’m pretty sure there are ways to do zero-knowledge encrypted ID card verification that doesn’t require a database. Similarly to Amazon reviews, a comment could simply show “verified ID”, but, retain no other information.
