So you don't know what it will actually be, or who will enforce it, just that it might be bad?
I'm not sure I understand what your point even is, or how it relates to Nostr specifically.
What are you actually trying to get at? Having an identity at all is a problem? How is that unique to Nostr, when those systems already exist today, and have for decades?
Given your question for a point, I guess you want an actionable answer. There is none. I'm not suggesting to abandon or change Nostr, it isn't a technical problem, but a societal and/or governmental one, depending on circumstances.
Having an identity isn't necessarily a problem, being forced to verify it for every occasion is. The example of jobs was to tie it with the current British example.
For a better example, read the post I wrote on Stacker News a while ago, BankID - evil made easy: https://stacker.news/items/402596
Exactly, this has nothing to do with Nostr specifically, hence I won't waste my time worrying about a theoretical future that exists in your head.
There are things *actually happening* that are more important. Paranoid fantasizing only wastes time and energy.
BankID is happening in Sweden, has been for over a decade, more and more. Knowing how things are likely to be abused is not waste of time, but an indication to what direction to not build, in order to not build in an open invitation for it, but instead do it another way, or what to watch out for and attempt to speak out against when it comes to what's happening in society, etc. A basic safety/security precaution, much like "worrying" about not mixing chlorine-containing bleach and certain other cleaning products.
