> Since the Covid Crisis, there has been a renewed interest in people taking control of their health. This on its own is fantastic news. This is something that’s very close to my heart since I’ve been embarking on my own health journey. As part of this, I was gifted Casey Means’ book Good Energy by my mother. I think there is a lot of very useful and important information in this book. Sadly, it also leaves out a wide variety of important information, especially when it comes to digital autonomy.
This is the secret behind the true importance of fighting for digital liberty. Not only can we avoid future dangers, but we can also correct many serious problems in the present day. With a truly holistic and bottom-up approach for building a new digital foundation, fixing problems that seem impossible to resolve becomes much more viable.
"The deliberate removal of information online can be as simple as various platforms removing content from their site, it could be institutions breaking links to previously available reports and documents, or even destruction of entire sites. It takes a great deal of effort to preserve information across time. That effort isn’t to be taken for granted."
This is an excellent write up on privacy risks inherent in #DigitalID systems and includes many good suggestions. > An individual’s life should be private. Information should only be shared voluntarily on a need-to-know basis. For example, only your employer, colleagues and customers need to know about your job; only your doctor, pharmacy and insurance (unless you pay out-of-pocket) need to know about your medical history; and many people only share their home address with close friends or family.
