A good back-and-forth about the relation between OpenID - and especially government or corporate issued OpenID - and personal choice and freedom. Specifically, writes the interlocutor, "I do sustain that issuing OpenIDs without asking takes away my freedom of choice." Not so. Issuing them and requiring that they be used takes away freedom of choice. If AOL prevents me from using my non-AOL OpenID, it takes away freedom of choice. If the government (or anyone else) requires that I use the government OpenID, it takes away freedom of choice. Via Michael Feldstein.
