I think its that some anonymity gives safety from the government.

IE during WW2 Holland kept such meticulous records on its citizens that it indirectly leads to the greatest numbers of imprisoned ethnic groups ( because the information was there , easily accessible by the invading forces.

I think thats a good example of how too much info results in vulnerability for citizens.

I dont have an opinion on this just sharing what I think is a good example.

> anonymity gives safety from the government

Drivers licenses are effectively already being used as state ID cards in all but name, so it's not as if the government doesn't already have that information.
