This is why we should replace names with uuids.
Everyone should get their own emoji that looks just like them.

lol, if it's downvoted that's how you know americans did it, because people from other countries have no idea why SS number is important or what it is
Why, we got something similar in other countries. Here in NL it is called BSN; Burger Service Number (burger means civilian). I believe the civilian should be able to create identities based on their private key (which only the government knows ) and these should have different details. Like for example, a nickname, a realname, a telephone number, and address, or multiple of these. But then, also the civilian should…
> burger means civilian
Nice try, so you tell me that the burger hospital I passed by is not in fact a place where they patch up burgers until they’re back on their feet?
A lot of countries have a unique ID for their citizens which is used for routine identification. On websites, at the bank, etc. nothing special about SSNs in this regard, except that they were leaked more times than you can count.

#123Easy living. Go try to register company, open a bank and then send few payments if your name is "Vladimir Putin".
any sanctioned individual. Some of their names are super common. Sorry Ivan Ivanov, you are on the list, no bank account for you. based by a true story. (meanwhile the sanctioned Ivan is chilling on his yacht with 3 passports and 5 golden visas)
Wouldn't they at the very least compare the birth dates?

#124My ex-wife had the same name as a woman in another state who had beaten up a cop and done jail time. So every time my wife's driver's license came up for renewal, the DMV decided she was that criminal, and refused to issue the license. This happened so often, she eventually was on a first-name basis with the DMV director, who had to intervene every time. I'm guessing this problem due to the DMV in our little state us…
Did she share the same DOB?

Oh, we know what it is and we also know that it is terrible for identification. Just hand out IDs with an actual unique id number with a check digit to _all_ citizens.
A mix of six upper and lower case gets you nearly 20 billion unique IDs, which should be enough for a while.
If we colonise the galaxy we could increase that to seven letters.

#126This is why we should replace names with uuids.
What is more likely to happen is a global namespace of unique names. Famous and powerful people get to pick first, because they are more important. Names can be inherited and become signs of your class and wealth. You get to be Bob192382, because you got in early and only had to add 6 numeric digits. In the year 2100, we're at 15 digits.
How would this be enforced? Do you get punished on social media if you claim you are Bob?

India is an interesting subject with so many Kumars and Prasads. They probably don't try to stand out with their name brand.

"Ohhh, if it isn't 99adbad3-f3c8-4c52-99d8-be692c62b9db again! Man, what a blast last Friday at e128001f-9737-4245-b08b-73bc50db0204's party, right?"
That's impractical. Someone made a base8192 Hangul UUID conversion, only ten characters long.

Are criminals not allowed to drive?
