Brings up the question of what are some good tools to manage this kind of risk.
You need your contacts, email archive, another credible email address to re-establish contact, alternate credentials for SSO sites, and it needs to be somewhere outside the political sphere that could cause this.
What does a resilient online identity look like? These companies own the primary media of your relationships, which are the things people need to survive.
- heliumcraft 10y agoThe solution probably lies in a decentralized/distributed platform such as Ethereum or Maidsafe.
- fatdog 10y agoa blockchain social network? Someone has to have done this already and then abandoned it because it failed to thrive.
- vertex-four 10y agoNot really. All the low-level pieces simply don't exist as usable code yet - yes, you can pay money in a convoluted way (compared to buying almost anything else) to have a piece of data added to a globally distributed ordered list, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to build every piece of interaction on the network on top of that system. "Pay 5 cents to send a tweet!" You also need a decentralized publish/subscribe system and a useful decentralized search system, both resistant to attacks. The former has some good solutions buried in people's PhDs, the latter not so much. Then you need a lot of UX research and people working on the low-level protocol, high-level domain logic, and the UI. It'd be a project on the scale of one of the largest open-source projects currently in existence, IMHO.
