Identities

The Identities research project explores user experiences of digital identity technologies in India.

Great to see @anjali28 / @storythings exploring The ID Question on How We Get To Next - looks like some interesting insights coming up, extending questions from @cariboudigital Identity research and asking new ones too: https://t.co/JISHe73PVg

And as a bonus - a transaction story animated. We chose to prioritise not just a single user’s needs but the needs of all actors in a transaction, both active and passive actors. User centricity often misses wider community issues: https://t.co/L7Pmc0qaoA

What a brilliant essay! With insights that we would not have ordinarily thought of.

We all need to be deeply aware that identity interactions have wonderful idiosyncrasies that cannot be reduced to cold (digital) transactions. https://t.co/cTW1017nBB

"Multiple identity elements are a feature, not a bug"

Lovely! Isnt that exactly what we (civil society) has been saying all along. Thank you, @ON_Identities https://t.co/zTxE8z7Afl

And the final essay from our Identities Project final report - although state systems want a single ID system for every citizen, users rarely do. Multiple identity elements are a feature, not a bug:

More from our Identities Project report - intermediaries are crucial to identity transactions, and need far more support than they’re currently getting:

Our final day of tweeting the essays in our Identities Project report, and we’re looking at how critical issues such as privacy are often abstract to users and need spelling out: https://t.co/MkrDYzqDoE

Our 5th essay on vulnerability when using Aadhaar focuses on Gender, a core feature of our research in the Identities Project: https://t.co/4Ap3f9M8hL

[Identities @ON_Identities]

It’s not just users who are vulnerable - intermediaries also need to be considered when we look at how digital identity systems like Aadhaar are deployed - as we discuss in our 4th essay on vulnerabilities within our final Identities Project report: https://t.co/mAeYzWfiXv

[Identities @ON_Identities]

Even at enrolment vulnerabilities are exposed as people use Aadhaar, particularly for those with disabilities, as discussed in the next essay from our Identities Project final report:

The second essay from our Identities Project final report today is on how people select and combine identity elements in the course of their everyday life, creating an 'identity mosaic':

Day 2 of tweeting our Identities Project report, and we're looking at section 2 on vulnerabilities. The first essay looks at how migrants struggle with fixed State identities when moving across borders:

The fourth essay from our Identities Project report discusses how people construct “identity mosaics” from many artefacts in their day to day lives - identity is never, ever singular:

The 3rd essay from our final report discusses how every identity transaction means something to the people involved. This seems obvious, but us often forgotten when systems are viewed as technologies only:

The second essay in our final report of the Identities Project argues that physical identity artefacts matter, even in the digital era. An often overlooked factor - people laminate their 'Aadhaar card' even though no such thing officially exists: https://t.co/4lbePaFxTd

[Identities @ON_Identities]

Today we're looking at the first section of our identities report with @OmidyarNetwork - and the first essay discusses how people have always had, and managed, multiple personal identities:

Proud to share the final #IdentitiesProject report -- a new study on the user experience of identity in India, but with global #DigitalID implications. Read our insights here: https://t.co/BNz66d8m8u
