Facebook & Google's thesis for online privacy is surveillance capitalism. The Decentralized Identity Foundation is providing the antithesis.
-
That's a dangerous misconception. Decentralized identity does nothing against surveillance. Only the ID changes, not any of the surveillance
-
It could actually become even worse, because with open ID scheme more services will adopt it instead of the current FB or GOOG ones.
-
If there's new business models enabled by the blockchain via
@DecentralizedID, then it COULD disrupt centralized surveillance-based models -
Don't think so. They would exist in parallel. Mining personal info is just too valuable and will rest valuable for all sorts of purposes.
-
Most likely the existing players will simply integrate the decentralized ID - it is not even a new idea, finally, OpenID exists today.
