Seems to be a trend. Have been working with some governments Europe and they are looking increasingly to link National IDs to social media and online presence. The idea seems to be there to combat misinformation (specifically by officials spooked by AI) but if course it will be used to curb on dissent and speech. Imagine internet forums without the anonymity 
The tech is also very much there to implement stuff like this. That’s why I have been telling people to make this an issue in local, regional, national, and EU Parliament elections. Privacy will become more political than technological slowly, since the tech has become slowly more and more robust, while legislation has walked the opposite way.
