Verifying Humans Without Surrendering Identity: A Case Against Government-Issued Online Verification
Although government-issued identity verification addresses the genuine challenge of distinguishing humans from automated systems, its widespread implementation commoditises personal identity data and exposes users to inconsistent privacy protections.
Why getting faster has always required slowing down first — and why the cycle never really ends. Lessons from the cube, the pool, and the codebase, learned and re-learned.
