Well, uh... yes and no. It is complicated.

At the last Internet ID Workshop, I announced my talk: “5yrs ago at this conference, Trinsic launched our self-sovereign identity platform. Today, I’m hosting a session called “SSI didn’t work. Trinsic is pivoting.”" Only recently, during a couple of 2am - 5am shifts with a newborn baby,

We demand the right to use a pseudonym when transacting with relying parties from the private sector.

While law has developed, regulatory enforcement is very much wanting. After 29 years in this space, imo, you can’t rely on law or enforcement to protect your online privacy. Tech can & does protect you more than law - choose browsers that block tracking &

Very few countries can truly secure a single centralized system/database. None can reliably secure multiple copies of the same system at scale. Build for privacy by design (make personal data less intrinsically valuable) and you will both deter hackers, and cut IT security costs.

France just became the first country in the world to launch MCP for its gov data. Pretty bold move, and honestly quite impressive.

Protect teens by reducing harm at the source: safer defaults, less addictive design, and stronger safeguards — not by expanding data collection and monitoring, Instagram 😠 #privacy #dataMinimization #SafetyByDesign foxcarolina.com/2026/02/26/ins…

Minimum bar for gov digital ID: since we clearly can’t secure IT systems (and the data we store in them), link records to revocable/rotatable personal identifiers, not immutable ones. #Privacy #PrivacyByDesign #DigitalID #DigitalIdentity
