Digital Identity Informed Consent
What is Digital Identity?
What is Digital Identity?
Your digital identity is your likeness, voice, movement, and/or all biometric data originating from you, a human being. This means any pictures of you online, recordings of your voice, video...even your physical movements and your heartbeat.
What Is Informed Consent?
What Is Informed Consent?
Informed consent for digital identities means fully understanding and agreeing to how your digital self will be created and used, in any storage or transmission format, whether electromagnetic or otherwise, across the whole of the universe.
What Is the Problem?
What Is the Problem?
People's digital identities (likeness, voice, movement, and biometric data) are being deepfaked or used without their full disclosure, understanding, or agreement. This lack of proper informed consent has led to exploitation and harm in various contexts.

This isn't just about technology - it's about your human rights.
Without informed consent, we risk losing control of our identities.
The consequences are immediate and personal:
from identity theft to manipulation of your words and actions.

Understand the stakes. Act now.
Our digital autonomy hangs in the balance.

THE SOLUTION

Legally-Define Informed Consent: Human Digital Identity Informed Consent is the process by which a human being is fully-educated about the specific uses, risks, and benefits associated with the (creation and) use of their digital identity before agreeing to its capture or utilization. It requires clear, explicit, and comprehensive details about the intended usage, ensuring that the individual is aware of and consents to each distinct application of their digital identity. This process ensures that consent is not only given, but it is given with a full understanding of how the digital identity will created and be used, in any storage or transmission format, whether electromagnetic or otherwise, across the whole of the universe.

Demand Informed Consent: Create legislation that requires clear, specific consent for each use of your digital identity.

Without Informed Consent: Use is not permitted.
