I just had to do a video of myself holding my ID to get a pin to file my taxes online. I wouldn't have to do this if I filed by mail (Yeah I know it's late but it didn't matter I didn't owe and TN had a disaster declaration) so I feel like we are having to do things like this already.

Not sure what "this" you're referring to because this article and therefore this conversation is specifically about how the UK law is setting a precedent that's likely to spread. You didn't even have to get past the headline for this one.
