"Right to Human Verification" is something I have actually thought about a lot.

I want to able to verify my identity against a system. I also want to be able to not do that.

So for instance, on Twitter/X, I could verify myself and filter only other verified people / filter those goverments that have validated the identities of the users. I want to be able to do that. But I also want to be able to log in into Twitter anonymously.

I would love a "Right to Anonymity and Right to Human Verification"

zk-proofs already exist to do just that.

They’ll need a contextual system around them that is convenient and trusted by people who don’t know what they are or how they work in order to be successful
