In June of 2010, Senator Joe Lieberman stated that he believed the US needed the same ability to shut down the internet as China currently has.
Also in 2010, Microsoft Senior Advisor and Bilderberg attendee Craig Mundie called for the creation of a "World Health Organization for the internet" and suggested creating government-issued licenses to authorize internet usage.
In 2011, Bill Clinton advocated the idea that the US government create an agency for “fact-checking” websites on the internet.
In 2015, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (yes, that NIST) unveiled the "Trusted Identities Group," part of a national strategy for standardizing online identification systems.
Given all of this, it is not hard to imagine how a cyberterror event may play out: A cataclysmic attack on the internet's infrastructure massively disrupts people's online lives for a period of days or weeks. Social media is inaccesible. Online banking and shopping is halted. All news and information during the internet blackout comes from the old, controlled dinosaur media. A shocked and distressed public learn that the Russians (or whatever bogeyman du jour is convenient) are being blamed for the attack. In order to prevent such a thing from reoccurring, emergency legislation is passed in the US (and, coincidentally, in all other Western nations) requiring proof of identity to use any and all internet services.
In one fell swoop, not only would the last vestiges of internet anonymity be eliminated, but a key part of the erection of the social credit control grid would be in place. Now, just like in China, all of your online activity would be tied directly to your social credit score.
