I've been thinking lately that we need some sort of internet identity. Something that proves you are a real, legitimate and unique person, but shields your privacy. Netherland has something like this for government services: DigID. Every citizen can get one, and you use it to handle all sorts of government-related stuff, like your taxes, etc. We need something like that, but internationally, and useable for everything, rather than just government services. But international is hard. And who will be put in control? Different countries have different privacy standards, not to mention different standards of corruption.
