The big problem as I see it, is trying to identify people in a trustworthy way…like with social media – it’s so easily spammed with multiple pseudonyms, etc…

It’s good to see that there is research going in to this field, but I do doubt it’s reliablity for now. People would have to entrust a lot more information to such a technology in order for them to be accurately identified, and of course avoid the situation of multiple pseudonyms.

…This is only a potentially negative repercussion, but for those that follow the rules, it would be massively valuable I expect.

Really interesting post CJ – thanks for that.
