    Sovereign identity and Solid are the way. But governments will have to play a role in large scale implementation.

    For some reason people seem to trust commercial organizations with misaligned incentives over governmental bodies.

      To be fair, some people have less reason to trust their government with their data, then others.

      There are varying degrees of trust in authorities in the world.

      Eu is working on a digital wallet that would (among other things) help with this.

      Afaik It has a tiered information/identity structure, where the lowest level is: “is this a human being” (as an alternative to captcha)

      Then you could have age. (Just “is this person above %age”) Response would be just yes/no

      Then spesific age, nationality etc etc.

      You get the prompt, where it says what data they are asking for and you can concent or decline.
