You can’t show your passport to a police officer, for example, and then hope that he will “unsee” your data. You cannot order delivery from an online store without specifying your residential address, you cannot hide your insurance number when you call the hospital and you MUST give your insurance number. You cannot hide your face if hundreds of cameras are filming you at intersections, in the subway, and in shops!
Exactly, thats why i dont get what difference a DiD should make. But the problem here is how data is being stored and left vulnerable to criminals, companies, governments forever. The individual has almost no measures of protecting itself against this anymore. I dont get how Jack Dorsey wants to change that.
You see, the fact is that in all this there is a huge, insoluble, internal contradiction. Now I will explain. For example, your passport. In fact, this is not your passport
This is some kind of not very secure document that the state issues to you based on previous information (your citizenship, your parents, whose surname you inherit, date of birth, etc.). You can’t make a passport for yourself and call yourself Ivan Mgooogone Kurasawa Zibelmanshucher - right? Therefore, the state centrally determines this data and confirms that you are the owner of this document. And a passport was issued to you, not for you to bury it far in the forest, deep in a hole. And in order to provide, when finding a job, obtaining a loan, buying real estate, etc. Those. these data have been deanonymized by the judge herself. I understand that there may be a potential problem, such as data leaks, from some social network where your name and your photos are, possibly very private or spicy content, and you do not want to show them to everyone, but only to a small group of your friends. But technology will not solve this problem for you. If you transfer information somewhere, outside your laptop, the site you entrusted becomes the actual owner. Any encryption will not help. In order for this information to be seen by those to whom you want to show it, you must provide them with a key to decrypt the data. Whether it's manual or automatic, it doesn't matter. Everything, the whole system collapsed. The person to whom you gave the key can lose it, transfer it to a third party, ...
Or here is your medical record, data, where is the history of what, when they were ill, how and by whom they were treated, etc. But it is also not secret, it is available by default - to an insurance company, a hospital, an ambulance, (God forbid, of course, this is just a list of possible situations) ...
And your financial details, if you are not a drug dealer, are known to the tax, insurance, bank where you have an account, and even to a dealer selling you a car in installments!
To summarize: all these systems of anonymity are nothing more than a game on paranoia or on gullible people.
