Yes, but I imagine they have the end of Internet anonymity in mind with this - such that you wont be able to access online banking without bio-metric identification carried out through webcam. That's how it will start probably. The goal is that internet access would be entirely based on your digital identification.
You must not understand. In South Korea you must type in your internet Id # to access the internet and it tracks what you do. Only think they are missing is a picture verification along with the ID.

I think people may come up with a way around that though.
Software cameras. You can already feed a video in to a fake camera and have the OS handle it the same way. Things like OBS do this already.
You carry a phone with built in cameras and microphones, and most people do most on those than a computer.

When i was in korea...several times.... i experienced no such thing.
My fault. The ID is only required for specific websites. Not all at websites. But I'm sure they could change that quickly.
