As everything moves online from money to identity, communication to health data our digital lives have become central to who we are. Yet, most people have little control over their own data, identities, and even digital reputations.
What if digital sovereignty full control over your digital self became recognized as a fundamental human right?
This would mean:
•
Owning and controlling your personal data without intermediaries•
Being able to choose how your identity is verified and shared•
Having freedom from centralized platforms that can censor or monetize your digital presenceBut what would this look like in practice? What legal, social, and technical changes would be needed? How do we balance security, privacy, and usability?
I want to hear from devs, cryptographers, activists, and everyday users:
=
Is digital sovereignty achievable or just a utopian dream?=
How can decentralized technologies blockchain did zero knowledge proofs help?=
What are the biggest obstacles regulation, adoption, or something else?If we accept digital sovereignty as a right, how does society change?
And can Stacker News and similar communities lead the charge?
