    Honestly I think ID verification on the Internet isn’t a bad thing. I know a professional (highly paid) propagandist in real life which made me fear trolling and masquerading as someone else is way more prevalent than assumed. I’d love to see a forum where I didn’t have to second guess whether users are bots/trolls.

    Obviously it shouldn’t be for-profit unethical corporations that handle this, but well-run governments.

      Zero Knowledge ID, multiple possible verifies, only binary questions answered.

      Are you over 18 = True/False

      No other personal information escapes.

        Could you elaborate on “multiple possible verifies” please? Unsure what you mean by that.

          Zk certificates can be issued by multiple entities all attesting the validity the same piece of information. Governments, companies and your mate Dave could all add weight to a zk proof.

          The zk part just hides the input data. A zk proof guarantees validity, not truth.
