It's worse than that. Money will continue to flow in to companies like Persona, becauae there is no alternative. Persona will use that money to continue to build profiles on people. Society would be better off paying cryptography resea

You talk about tech literacy, but then conflate age verification with knowing someone's identity. You should see the work people are doing to perform age verification in a way that preserves privacy, for example the EU and Denmark.

Why would they say that is necessary?

Uploading IDs is the only solution we will get unless the people who care about privacy come up with something better.

The nice thing about something bolted on like that is that it is not an essential feature of the core design and has no bearing on the original goal. It can be removed or reformed. The same isn't true of the approaches we are heading t

Providing every citizen an ID every X years at no cost does seem like good policy.

It seems like the solution is to provide an age verification mechanism with robust privacy protections. That way when we offer a solution that works for all of their states concerns, if they disagree with the privacy preserving approach we

Its better than what we have now. Maybe using the ID could require a PIN code if we wanted to enhance security.

If we create age verification tools with strong privacy protections that solve the problems they raise, we can can call their bluff. If we fight every and any solution, we may end up with their solution, becauase they build it. We end up

Should device manufacturers be worried about this direction? Could they eventually be locked out too?

The neat thing is that if government provides identity, you don't have to use it for any system you build. But I'm curious how you would deal with spam and Sybils?
106.
by Seattle3503 8mo ago
To be clear, all we need from the government is to establish a person really exists and verify basic properties. We don't need more than that, so we can and should use all cryptography at our disposal (and invent more) to prevent any m

yeah and from the article, it sounds like they chat with the perps and befriend them to build trust.

We've seen ~20 years of people trying to solve identity without the government. We've seen plenty of solutions that can provide stable identities over time, but we haven't really seen anything that provides meaningful sybil r

Identity is "infrastructure" government should provide via something like mDLS. A lot of work needs to go into make sure it is secure and it can be used in a way that protects privacy. Eg selective disclosure of attributes for ver

In competitive industries, bad firms will fail. Some industries are not competitive though. I have a friend that went a little crazy working as a PM at a large health insurance firm.
