To what extent must the provider verify that the identity provided is accurate? If 'disclosing identity' actually means 'typing text into a form', then it's pretty toothless. As an end-user, I could put whatever 'identity' I wanted there.

Point of Sale + cashless society = problem solved.

I think it means "provide government-issued photo ID to get a password which can be traced back to you".

The context is if someone using the cafe's internet infringes on copyright, the copyright holder needs to find whom to sue. That is not possible in a "type a random email address" mode.
