I think you really hit the nail on the head, thanks for sharing!
Privacy is definitely at the center of what I'm building. My approach is to put full control of their own data in the users hands. Data is only shared with a service when a user explicitly allows it and the user is always aware of what that data is. Your idea of being able to share nothing at all is also something I've been thinking a lot about. Being able to verify an identity without leaking any PII is one of my main goals.
I also agree with you on the issue of governments. There are very few who have managed to introduce a digital ID locally. A large amount of countries coming together and building a common solution seems very far-fetched currently. Where I'm from, Sweden, we have a well functioning digital ID used by everybody. Funny thing is that it was created by the private banks and only later adopted by the government.
It's definitely a hard problem but judging by the evidence it's solvable, just hope I'm on the right path. If you have any more thoughts I'd love to hear them!
