The idea is, that you have a 'digital ID' on your phone, tied to your real identity, that will today be used to prove you're 18, but when the infrastructure exists, it will be used for other stuff too... like needing to attach your real name to any social media account (you already have an app that does that on your phone for the 18+ thing, so adding real name is easy to implement), and that will greatly affect freedom of speech.
