Honestly I think ID verification on the Web 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, because trolling on the Web is part of what he does. I’d love to see a forum where I didn’t have to second guess whether users are bots/trolls and there are no people using tens if not hundreds of accounts to skew votes.
Obviously it shouldn’t be for-profit unethical corporations that handle this, but well-run governments.
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.
