New Forced "Real ID" for US

Real ID is being forced on US citizens, according to claims that the Trump administration requires it for domestic flights, with regular driver's licenses no longer accepted. Representative Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, warns it may be used to "control" Americans and says its power will be realized "when everyone complies." Journalist Derrick Broze argues digital IDs are a first step toward an "Everything app" like China's WeChat, while Whitney Webb links them to Peter Thiel's AI biometric surveillance contracts. The American Civil Liberties Union says the law would facilitate tracking of individuals' data and supports efforts to repeal it.
