BTW I don't exactly follow. If it's a database of people showing their government-issued IDs, it's then just a copy of the government database of these IDs. I can't believe that a government issues a photo ID number so-and-so to some Joe Random, and forgets about it. I bet it keeps a record.

The interesting part might be tracking the real people across websites, at least such websites that require this level of identification.

It’s a database of government issued IDs with all the associated details and where they showed those IDs. So it’s a security nightmare and a privacy nightmare.
