The complete solution is a trusted 3rd party that verifies you in person. In most countries that would be the government. In the US it could a private entity like banks.
Then websites site rate limit each authenticated person.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoThe US has long verified you in person at United States Postal Service locations for the purpose of verifying your identity for US passports.
- sarchertech 3y agoFor sure, and you could probably build off of that by just having a digital identify tied to the passport. But what I was getting at was that people freak out whenever anyone discusses a national identify card.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoYes, and I was getting at that a national identity card in the US has existed for many years, called a passport, so people are freaking out for no reason. Also, it could be made opt in so the people freaking out would have nothing to object to, and then whoever wants to participate, can.

- sarchertech 3y agoYou can architect it in a way that let's the person choose what they want to share with 3rd parties. The most basic is just, this is an actual human. Then make it illegal for companies to share tracking data based on your passport id with anyone. You can also architect it so that the government doesn't know who is trying to authenticate you. It does prevent you from making multiple accounts with the same company though.
