  1. I think a single identity for the metaverse is a baaaad idea. Besides not wanting to be tracked by private corporations and individuals without my consent, I have different personas based on the context of my environment. There’s my various personal and private personas expressed to certain limited groups of people, there’s my professional personas, and my public personas. Each context may have multiple personas based on my relationship with the individual or group. I want that choice and ability in the virtual world too.

  2. Also, I don’t have to show my ID when I walk into a store. There are limited circumstances where I need to prove my age. But on the whole, private corporations do not need to know my identity. They want to know it though so they can track and profile me and target me to increase their chances of making money off me.

  3. Also also, companies don’t need to know my identity to keep track of my preferences. Again, I should be able to choose what preferences I share.

  4. Yeah, tech companies! Give me more time!
