Facebook, Microsoft and Yahoo are taking similar steps.
All of these and Google are also moving towards phone 'auth' (aka: database of you), and 'real name' government picture ID policies. Don't expect your accounts to be grandfathered, Facebook is already locking longstanding accounts out that do not provide these. It would seem there is now good oppurtunity for people to spin up alternative projects to the big 4 that would take a nice post-snowden post-big-data approach to respecting people and their right to privacy, etc. A good strong no bullshit stance on that could be quite profitable in its own right when compared to the abysmal big 4. It won't be free, but it could be anon... $25/year cash in the mail x 1M users = $$$. Who's in?
