The Identity Crackdown: Escaping the Digital Prison
Manage episode 508794482 series 3604885
This episode explores the global race between governments implementing centralized digital IDs that risk mass surveillance and privacy erosion, versus decentralized models emphasizing Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI). We detail the complex threats posed by non-interoperable systems and "Digital Twins" technology, which aggregates scattered digital footprints into detailed biometric profiles used for extensive behavioral tracking. Discover how cutting-edge tools like Verifiable Credentials (VCs) and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) are designed to give individuals control through selective disclosure, minimizing data sharing and offering a viable defense against the global trend toward digital authoritarianism.
