Chinese app developers beta test a national cyberspace ID system with facial recognition and real names, eliminating the need for personal info provision to ISPs.
The national cyberspace ID aims to work as both a physical and online credential, planned to be authenticated and issued by a government service platform.
Critics express privacy concerns over the (allegedly) voluntary system, with one likening it to 'installing monitors to watch everyone's online behavior.'
One citizen has reportedly filed a lawsuit against the cyber ID system within the Dongcheng District Court of Beijing.
