Privacy and Security Fanatic: Facebook Wants to Issue Your IRL Offline ID & Internet Driver's License
Network World reports: "At the start of this year, it seemed as if Facebook wanted to utilize its identity infrastructure already on millions of websites in order to issue your Internet driver's license. Apparently that wasn't aiming quite high enough, since it now appears as if Facebook has future plans to issue your offline identity cards as well. Facebook filed for a trademark for 'goods and services' to use Facebook on 'cards, namely business cards and non-magnetically encoded identity cards' that could be read by NFC and RFID-enabled devices."
