Digital identity presents moral quandary

Experts suggest we need to embrace the concept of a ‘digital identity’ to support the development of fintech and other modern innovations. With tools such as zero knowledge, verifiable credentials and strong authentication, we can now each establish our own digital identity. But some say that enforcing it, for example, using a passport or driving licence to verify the opening of a social media account, is a breach of privacy. Likewise, it does not account for representatives, fan accounts or parody accounts.
