AI firms propose 'personhood credentials' to combat online deception, offering a cryptographically authenticated way to verify real people without sacrificing privacy—though critics warn it may empower governments to control who speaks online.

If the alternative is corporations violating privacy even more? Absolutely.

The absolute maximum information it's legal for corporations should be a dozen orders of magnitude less than they do right now, and asking a single user for an ID without a clear, bulletproof cause should be an instant corporate death penalty with every bit of data they've ever collected erased.

Privacy is a fundamental right and you shouldn't be allowed to operate anywhere if you don't respect it absolutely.
