@csuwildcat All this is interesting, and what TBD is doing is more nuanced than I realized. Thank you

@brockm The concept of decentralized itself is too abstract. People don't want DID per se, especially if it involves excess ID effort and private key security. But they will want a lighter, easier "Web5 Persona" if it helps them do cool Web5 stuff.

[Benjamin Wright @benjaminwright]

@justinrezvani @get_zion Don't call it DID. DID is too geeky, too political. Call it Web5 Persona. User can have multiple personas. Persona avoids the legal baggage of "ID," though a power-user persona can equate to an "ID". Entry-level persona can invest less in private key safety.

@lukebailiff There have already been quite a number of lawsuits in this area where American owners of websites have successfully sued unwelcome, aggressive visitors. The policy announcement by Department of Justice does not change much.

[Benjamin Wright @benjaminwright]

@MarkBaggett This doesn't change the law. Under the law website owners can bring private lawsuits against unwelcome, aggressive pests. To make clear that pests are unwelcome and subject to suit, owners can post no-trespassing signs. Topic is nuanced.
