The dangers of the state's monopoly on identity

The state's monopoly on identity excludes vulnerable people from jobs, housing, healthcare and more.

This article originally began as a response to The Reboot's article, which discusses the dangers of perpetual tracking by Google, Facebook and Microsoft. [1]

While the tracking by Google, Facebook and Microsoft is definitely disturbing and can even put people in danger, the state's data economy is even worse, with far-reaching consequences. Few people talk about this, even though it affects millions of people's daily lives.

Via the government ID system, the state exerts a monopoly on identity and an obsession with tracking people from “birth certificate” to “death certificate”. Disproportionate KYC regulations actively exclude people without government-issued ID from necessary services, including jobs, housing and healthcare and even everyday things like online shopping, receiving mail, buying a sim card, doing volunteer work, taking classes, or visiting the gym or library.

Millions of people worldwide don't have access to government ID (the state refuses to print it for them) or can't show ID for safety reasons (e.g. they are a victim of abuse and don't want to be tracked down by the abuser). These people are often already in vulnerable situations (for example: stateless, undocumented or homeless people; activists, dissidents or refugees; victims of domestic abuse or adult victims of child abuse; or adults whose birth was not registered) and exclusion from basic needs makes it even more difficult to survive.

The state offers no alternatives nor solutions – if the state refuses to print a passport, national ID card or birth certificate for someone, this person can't appeal, get help from NGOs or lawyers, or find an alternative way to get ID. [2]

The state's system does not offer a procedure to register yourself, for example if you weren't registered at birth or your country of birth is dangerous to you. There are no steps you can take – no appeals, checklists, regularization, rehabilitation, special circumstances, friendly jurisdictions, nor identity issuer of last resort. You cannot earn access to ID via merit, vouches, oaths, good behavior, probation, community service, nor any other form of effort or compassion. Even if the individual would otherwise qualify for a skilled work, marriage or humanitarian visa and could provide a biometric photo and fingerprints, this is not enough.

Similarly, there are no non-state solutions. NGOs and religious organizations like the United Nations, Red Cross and Caritas don't issue alternative IDs; jurisdictional arbitrage such as Flag Theory requires an existing birth certificate or old passport; and non-government IDs from World Passport or Digitalcourage are not accepted. This lack of alternatives only cements the state's monopoly.

In the 1950s, the United Nations issued conventions on statelessness [3] and refugee status [4], but today countries still refuse to issue IDs for stateless people, people who weren't registered at birth, and people who have fled political, cultural or interpersonal persecution – whether by arbitrarily or discriminatorily denying applications for stateless status, refugee status or delayed birth registration, ignoring submitted applications, or not having a process for applications at all, while simultaneously criminalizing people without a legal identity. [5] In 2014, the UNHCR started a campaign to “end statelessness by 2024” [6], but today it is still impossible to get a stateless or non-citizen passport, and unlike the laissez-passer passports of the past, the United Nations no longer issues substitute IDs, despite that it could help millions of people to access necessities such as employment, housing and healthcare.

This condemns individuals purely and permanently to their circumstances of birth, which they could not influence and cannot change. As an adult, there is no way to enter the system. If you were born in the wrong place (e.g. stateless, refugee, dissident) and/or to the wrong people (e.g. child abuse, cult, no birth registration), there is no way to rise above your situation through effort, determination nor compassion.

The state's monopoly on identity is therefore an unethical, fatalistic single point of failure.

Even for individuals with ID, the name that the state prints on their ID may not correspond to the name that they use in real life, which could put them in danger. [7] Many countries restrict or even ban legal name changes, which endangers victims of abuse (such as adults who escaped from child abuse, domestic abuse, cults or gangs), who use a self-chosen name for a fresh start, to feel human, to recover from trauma or for physical safety reasons. [8]

As government ID is not universal and does not signify security or trust, government ID requirements only disproportionately and unfairly exclude people from services. [9]

Returning to the topic of “surveillance capitalism” – People can choose to stop using Google, Facebook, Windows or stock Android. There are many alternatives, such as DuckDuckGo, Mastodon, Linux and custom ROMs such as Lineage or Graphene. There are also ways to protect your privacy, such as reducing usage of social media, using a VPN or Tor, using a burner phone, using a pseudonym, or using cash or crypto instead of credit cards. [10]

In comparison, when the state coerces the vast majority of employers, landlords and hospitals to require government ID, there are only a few gray market alternatives left (e.g. under the table work, informal rentals for cash, doctors who accept out-of-pocket payments). [11]

It is a stark contrast: If you don't use Facebook for privacy reasons, you can still find different ways to keep in contact with friends and local events. If you can't rent most apartments because the landlord requires a passport or driver's license, you are very lucky if you can find a room in a shared apartment where your roommates deal with the contract for you and you pay rent to your roommates in cash. One thing can be an inconvenience, one thing can cause homelessness.

Many people believe government ID is the only way to trust that “someone is who they say they are”. [12] If someone admits that they don't have “proper ID”, they are often seen as untrustworthy, hiding something or even dangerous. [13] The equation of “ID = trust” not only leads to social stigma and exclusion, but can also lead to poverty and homelessness [14], threats of violence, or even indefinite detention (in many countries, cops can demand ID without a reason, and detain the individual until their legal identity is known – which can mean indefinite imprisonment for people who were never assigned a legal identity [15] [16]). Rather than “innocent until proven guilty”, this creates a situation of “guilty and no way to prove innocence”.

If innocence is not based on your actions, but purely on possession of government ID, it creates an impossible scenario when no jurisdiction agrees to print ID for you – from stateless people who literally have nowhere to go, to refugees who can't return to or interact with their country of birth for safety reasons, to adults whose births were never registered, to victims of child abuse, domestic abuse or cult abuse who don't use their birth name due to decades of trauma or worse the risk of being tracked down and returned. Instead of blaming authoritarian countries, uncooperative bureaucrats, abusive or neglectful birth parents, violent ex-partners or sociopathic cult leaders, the victim is blamed, distrusted and considered as a criminal.

In an ideal world, people would be judged on their actions and intent, rather than on circumstances of birth and decisions of bureaucrats. For housing, only your ability to pay rent would be relevant. For a job, only your skills and work ethic would be relevant. For healthcare, only your medical condition would be relevant (it would be against the Hippocratic Oath to deny medical treatment to people without ID, especially if they are paying out-of-pocket in cash).

For identity, it would be enough to say your name, get a vouch from a friend, landlord or employer, link to a social media profile, or use a non-government photo ID (such as from Digitalcourage or World Passport, which does not require birth registration or citizenship and allows self-chosen names).

For authentication, you would use a password or PIN (e.g. SMS code to pickup mail), physical key or card (e.g. mailbox keys, membership cards) or a cryptographic keypair (such as in PGP, Bitcoin or Monero).

For trust, word-of-mouth was the primary method before government IDs were invented (and made mandatory) in the 20th century. [17] [18] [19] Nowadays, word-of-mouth includes vouches from friends, online reviews, social networks, web-of-trust and memberships. Cash deposits and escrow systems (e.g. Bitrated) would protect against scams, theft or damage.

This meritocratic, non-government market is not theoretical. Permissionless free markets exist today – under the names of agorism [20], informal economies, black and gray markets, parallel economies and Second Realms – and offer hope and a means to survive to people in need. [21] [22] While NGOs have tried in vain to convince the state to print IDs for vulnerable people, these independent markets take a practical, grassroots approach to help people access work, housing and healthcare, even without government-issued ID. [23]

These free markets offer a way for people to take control of their situation. Human rights activists have campaigned since decades, while individuals have been left in limbo or excluded entirely from society, purely due to bureaucracy. In the 1950s, the United Nations called on nation-states to print IDs for stateless people, unregistered people and refugees – but seventy years later, the situation has only become worse, as more daily life necessities require government ID KYC every year, yet nation-states still refuse to print ID for millions of people.

Even worse, these people are not being accused of a specific crime and there is no real justification to deny printing IDs for them – their only “crime” is the vicious circle of not having papers because the state refuses to print papers for them. You would think economic exclusion – banned from employment, housing, healthcare, education, banking, travel, contracts, mail, sim cards and more – would be a punishment for only the most severe of crimes. But for stateless people, refugees, victims of abuse and people who weren't registered at birth, it is a punishment for being born. In this unforgiving situation, the informal economy provides an essential lifeline and way to survive.

Some examples include under-the-table work, informal apartment rentals, health clinics run by volunteers and anonymous sim cards. Most informal, agorist markets are local, based on word-of-mouth with cash-in-hand payments. The internet can also offer a place for an uncensored digital economy – such as for global trade [24], remote work, activism, fundraising [25] and community building – while cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Monero offer a way to send and receive money online without government ID or a bank account [26] [27] and withdraw to local cash when needed [28].

There are many reasons why people participate in agorist markets. It can be quicker and easier to rent out your spare room for cash, pay a doctor out-of-pocket instead of dealing with public health insurance, or hire an online freelancer for crypto. Bureaucracy doesn't just shut people out of the market, it also takes time and money to fill out forms, deal with months-long wait times, pay extortionate fees, and apply for government permission (which may be denied for arbitrary or discriminatory reasons). Agorism cuts the red tape, enabling people to access what they need in a truly free market.

As the state continues to ostracize and even criminalize vulnerable people, agorism provides not only hope of inclusion and equal opportunities, but a practical, proven solution which works today. For universal and safe access to daily needs such as employment, housing and healthcare, it is important to build and use agorist markets that are immune to the state's monopoly on identity, invisible to the state's data economy, and free for everyone to use.

What is the Future Potential of Blockchain Technology?

Blockchain development, initially introduced as the underlying structure for Bitcoin, has evolved beyond its initial application. As an immutable, decentralized ledger, blockchain offers unparalleled security, transparency, and efficiency, driving innovations across various industries. The future potential of blockchain development is vast, and its transformative impact is poised to reshape numerous sectors. This blog will delve into the future potential of blockchain technology, exploring its implications for finance, supply chain management, healthcare, governance, and more.

1. Financial Services

a. Decentralized Finance (DeFi)

The financial sector is undergoing a paradigm shift with the advent of decentralized finance (DeFi). Blockchain development services enable the creation of decentralized applications (dApps) that facilitate peer-to-peer financial transactions without the need for intermediaries such as banks. DeFi platforms offer services like lending, borrowing, trading, and investing, all executed through smart contracts. This innovation promises to democratize access to financial services, reduce transaction costs, and increase transparency.

b. Digital Identity and KYC/AML

Blockchain can streamline Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) processes. Traditional KYC/AML processes are cumbersome, time-consuming, and costly. Blockchain's immutable ledger allows for the secure storage and sharing of digital identities, making the verification process more efficient. This not only reduces operational costs for financial institutions but also enhances the customer experience.

2. Supply Chain Management

a. Transparency and Traceability

Blockchain technology can revolutionize supply chain management by enhancing transparency and traceability. Each transaction or movement of goods can be recorded on a blockchain, creating an immutable audit trail. This ensures that all stakeholders, from manufacturers to consumers, have access to accurate and real-time information about the product's journey. This transparency helps in detecting and mitigating issues such as fraud, counterfeiting, and inefficiencies.

b. Smart Contracts

Smart contracts automate and enforce contractual agreements in the supply chain. These self-executing contracts with predefined rules reduce the need for intermediaries, minimize disputes, and ensure timely payments and deliveries. By automating these processes, blockchain can significantly enhance the efficiency and reliability of supply chain operations.

3. Healthcare

a. Secure Health Records

The healthcare sector faces challenges related to the secure and efficient management of patient data. Blockchain development offers a solution by providing a secure and decentralized system for storing health records.

This not only enhances data security and privacy but also improves the interoperability of health information systems.

b. Drug Traceability and Clinical Trials

Blockchain can improve the traceability of pharmaceuticals, combating the issue of counterfeit drugs. By recording each step of the drug manufacturing and distribution process on a blockchain, stakeholders can verify the authenticity of medicines. Additionally, blockchain can streamline clinical trials by securely managing and sharing trial data, ensuring transparency and integrity in the research process.

4. Governance and Voting

a. Transparent Voting Systems

Blockchain technology holds the potential to revolutionize voting systems, making them more transparent, secure, and tamper-proof. By recording votes on a blockchain, election integrity can be ensured, reducing the risk of fraud and manipulation. Blockchain-based voting systems can enhance voter confidence and increase participation by providing a secure and transparent platform.

b. Decentralized Governance

Blockchain can enable decentralized governance models where decisions are made through consensus mechanisms. This can be applied to various organizations, including companies, non-profits, and even governments. Decentralized governance ensures that decision-making processes are transparent, inclusive, and resistant to corruption.

5. Intellectual Property and Digital Rights

a. Protecting Intellectual Property

Blockchain development can transform the way intellectual property (IP) is managed and protected. By recording the creation and transfer of IP rights on a blockchain, ownership and authenticity can be easily verified. This reduces the risk of IP theft and ensures that creators receive fair compensation for their work.

b. Managing Digital Rights

Blockchain can also revolutionize the management of digital rights, especially in the entertainment industry. Musicians, filmmakers, and other content creators can use blockchain to track the distribution and usage of their work. Smart contracts can automate royalty payments, ensuring that creators are fairly compensated whenever their content is used.

6. Real Estate

a. Property Transactions

Blockchain can simplify and secure real estate transactions by providing a transparent and immutable record of property ownership. Smart contracts can automate the execution of real estate deals, reducing the need for intermediaries such as brokers and lawyers. This not only speeds up the transaction process but also reduces costs and minimizes the risk of fraud.

b. Tokenization of Assets

Blockchain enables the tokenization of real estate assets, allowing properties to be divided into fractional shares that can be bought and sold on digital platforms. This democratizes access to real estate investment, making it possible for a broader range of investors to participate in the market.

7. Energy and Sustainability

a. Decentralized Energy Grids

Blockchain technology can facilitate the creation of decentralized energy grids where individuals can produce, trade, and consume energy in a peer-to-peer network. This can enhance energy efficiency, reduce reliance on centralized energy providers, and promote the use of renewable energy sources.

b. Carbon Credits and Sustainability

Blockchain can improve the management and trading of carbon credits, enhancing the transparency and efficiency of carbon markets. By recording carbon credit transactions on a blockchain, the authenticity and impact of sustainability initiatives can be verified. This can help in combating climate change by promoting accountability and encouraging more organizations to participate in carbon offset programs.

8. Education

a. Verifiable Credentials

Blockchain technology can transform the way educational credentials are issued and verified. By recording diplomas, certificates, and other academic achievements on a blockchain, the authenticity of these credentials can be easily verified by employers and other institutions. This reduces the risk of credential fraud and simplifies the verification process.

b. Lifelong Learning and Micro-Credentials

Blockchain can support the concept of lifelong learning by enabling the issuance and management of micro-credentials. These are smaller, stackable credentials that recognize specific skills or competencies. Blockchain can provide a secure and transparent platform for tracking and validating an individual's learning journey, promoting continuous education and skill development.

Conclusion

The future potential of blockchain development services is immense, with the capacity to revolutionize various industries and transform the way we interact with digital and physical systems. From financial services and supply chain management to healthcare, governance, intellectual property, real estate, energy, and education, blockchain offers innovative solutions that enhance transparency, security, and efficiency.

Understanding Kalp Studio: A Beginner’s Guide to Blockchain App Development

Blockchain technology brought innovation across industries like real world assets and real estate along with healthcare, media, and more. Many developers build their applications using this technology owing to its decentralized, immutable, and encrypted nature. One of the key elements of this technology is a smart contract — a self-executing computer code. It helps you to automate the execution of a particular agreement based on pre-defined terms and conditions.

Smart contracts power decentralized applications (dApps) on a blockchain network. But the process of smart contract development and deployment is quite complex and lengthy. In fact, you need to be well-versed with smart contract languages, tools, and development environment.

Kalp Studio tackles this complexity by providing a low-code development approach for blockchain app development. It offers pre-built templates for smart contracts and a seamless user-interface for smart contract deployment. In this blog post, let us explore this platform in detail.

Kalp Studio

For starters, Kalp Studio is a low-code platform for the Kalp blockchain. You can use it to create web 3.0 applications or integrate developer-friendly APIs to extend Web 2.0 applications to blockchain. The platform allows you to quickly prototype, test, and deploy applications.

But why would you need a low-code platform to enter the blockchain world, you may ask.

The reason is simple. Novel developers need to understand the technology thoroughly to start working on it.

For instance, you are required to understand the basics of cryptography, the workings of a blockchain network, its consensus mechanism, smart contracts, and beyond. Plus, you must know blockchain-specific tools — framework, library, and programming language.

But wait, there’s more! You also need a completely different deployment environment for testing blockchain applications.

So, basically, there are several layers to dApp development and deployment. And the switch to a completely new technology becomes a bit challenging, if you are doing it all on your own. You can skip all these complex tasks and simply start with the technology by using a low-code platform like Kalp Studio.

Challenges Solved by Kalp Studio

Here is a more detailed analysis of the challenges solved by Kalp Studio:

Complex dApp Deployment Process

As already mentioned, you need to have hands-on experience in specific technical skills to start smart contract deployment. Instead of getting into the nitty-gritty of the process, you can simply switch to Kalp Studio that provides a low-code approach to deploy your smart contracts.

The platform simplifies smart contract deployment by providing a simplified user-interface.

With Kalp Studio, you can deploy a smart contract in no time. This increased speed minimizes a backlog of unconfirmed transactions. Ultimately, the platform tackles the issues of network congestion.

High Gas Fees

As a network experiences increased congestion, its gas fees also increase simultaneously. It is because of the increased demand for transaction processing. The higher gas fees, in turn, make the deployment costly.

Moreover, Kalp Studio ensures quick smart contract deployment, therefore the blockchain does not experience higher gas fees.

Features of Kalp Studio

From KYC verification to smart contract monitoring, here are the features of this low-code platform:

KYC Verification

Kalp Studio’s feature of KYC verification helps verify user identity. It maintains the platform’s security by reducing the risk of unauthorized access and misuse of accounts. So, the platform prevents identity theft or impersonation and ensures a trustworthy environment.

How Compliance Fosters Trust and Growth for Businesses Today

In today's fast-paced business world compliance is not just about obeying laws, especially now that regulations are evolving all the time. It is a cornerstone for every successful company. Observing rules and regulations is not just about avoiding penalties; it is about creating trust between an entity and its customers. Whereby a firm proves its commitment to compliance, this tells the buyers that it carries itself with honesty and respect for the law.

This cultivates a sense of assurance and loyalty from customers hence making them do businesses with such entities even in future. Additionally, compliance can enable business expansion in different areas. Firms are able to avoid difficulties they may encounter while penetrating into new markets by keeping to regulations.

But beyond that, compliance has more benefits than what one could imagine at first sight. A good compliance programme that stresses proactive risk management and ethical conduct can help foster accountability within an organisation. This subsequently keeps the organisation from facing legal problems and damaging its reputation down the road. Furthermore, as regulations become increasingly complex, companies that invest in strong compliance capabilities will be better placed to negotiate through this dynamic landscape over time and prosper accordingly in the long-term perspective.

Understanding Compliance for Indian Business 

Compliance refers to the act of adhering to rules, regulations, laws, standards, or guidelines established by an authority or governing body. It involves ensuring that individuals, organisations, or systems adhere to these established requirements to avoid legal or regulatory penalties, financial losses, or reputational damage.

Compliance can apply to numerous areas such as business operations, finance, healthcare, environmental protection, data security, and more. It often involves implementing policies, procedures, and controls to ensure adherence to the regulations and standards relevant to a particular industry. 

In the financial sector, companies are facing increasingly stringent know-your-customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Know Your Customer (KYC): This regulation requires financial institutions to thoroughly verify the identities of their customers. This is done by collecting personal information, such as name, address, and date of birth, and verifying it against government-issued IDs. KYC helps prevent financial crime by making it more difficult for criminals to launder money or finance terrorism.

Anti-Money Laundering (AML): AML regulations are designed to prevent criminals from disguising illegal funds as legitimate income. Financial institutions are required to monitor customer transactions for suspicious activity and report any such activity to the authorities. This includes transactions that are large, unusual for the customer, or involve high-risk countries.

Consumer Protection: Financial regulations also encompass consumer protection. They ensure that customers are treated fairly and that banking practices do not harm them. This includes requirements for clear disclosure of terms and fees, fair lending practices, and protection of customer data.

Market Integrity: Compliance also promotes fair and efficient markets. Regulations prevent insider trading, market manipulation, and other activities that could harm investors.

Risk Management: Financial compliance involves identifying, assessing, and managing risks. This helps financial institutions protect themselves from fraud, cyberattacks, and other threats.

By adhering to these regulations, financial institutions can help maintain a stable and secure financial system, protect consumers, and prevent financial crime. Related Reads: Future-Proof Your Online Business for the Digital Age
