      Platforms would not be allowed to compel users to provide government-issued identity documents including passports or driver’s licenses, nor could they demand digital identification through a government system.

      So no, ain’t gonna happen.

          Wouldn’t this:

          nor could they demand digital identification through a government system.

          Prevent that from being possible? I realize you’re sarcastically describing a dystopian solution but the law seems to be pretty clear in terms of how government ID can’t be used.
