Trust based on social media: -1
I remember Thawte used to have a WOT (web of trust), and "web notaries." If was an interesting idea, based on personally meeting, providing passport as a proof, etc. and have people already trusted vouch for you. They shut it down.
- somerandomness 12y agoThanks for the feedback. I plan on adding other forms of login in the future; Facebook just has the largest user base.
- z131 12y agoI'm with the parent commenter. I actually deleted my Facebook, but would love to utilize this service to create a public trust profile. I just can't involve social media accounts.
- somerandomness 12y agoWhat other accounts would you be comfortable associating with this trust profile? Would you hook up your GitHub?
- drdaeman 12y agoI'd hook up my PGP key. Or X.509 certificate. Or old good username and password pair. Something I can truly own and handle. Why do I need some third party to have an identity? Then I'd enlist accounts with any imaginable third parties (email addresses, Facebook, VKontakte, Google+, BitCoin addresses, GitHub, BitBucket, StackOverflow and so on and so on) as something I have at the moment.
