[BLU] Self-Sovereignty and Independence Online
Channel: bostonlinuxandunix
Date: 2020-11-24

(Wed, Nov 18, 2020) Doc Searls discusses a user-centric model for owning and controlling your identity online.

Self-sovereign identity (SSI) is new category with dozens of developers, open source code bases (e.g. Hyperledger Indy), libraries, tools, and at least one core architecture and data model. But what matters most about it is that it serves purposes that have motivated free and open source software developers for decades now: self-sovereignty and personal independence from surveillance and control by others online.
