The metaverse. A vibrant, thriving future of technicolor digital connection and creativity, innovation and digital commerce. We're told it's the future. What if that future is built on quicksand. In such a world, your identity would be at risk of becoming just as impermanent—and in the wrong hands—as a line...
Picture this as the endless horizon of digital opportunity. Here, we may peel it all off and stoop low, get naked, and play at the roots of a new social order. Are we really leaving the problems of the real world behind, or just duplicating its inequities inside a glossy,...

T-Mobile’s newfound adoption of CLEAR’s biometric authentication system, CLEAR1, sounds like a leap into the future.

The promise is tantalizing: enhanced security, a bulwark against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, and a seamless,...

A measly £9,166. That's all it took. That's the price tag for Hippo Digital to start poking around the UK Ministry of Defence's (MoD) identity systems. Now, I'm not saying this is some grand conspiracy, but doesn't it make you just a little uneasy? Interestingly enough, Hippo Digital recently received...
The House of Lords is taking up the corset of digital identity once more. Good. What’s at stake is more than convenience and efficiency.

The government’s terrible Data Bill continues to make its way through Parliament.

Imagine this: You're exploring a vibrant metaverse art gallery, ready to bid on a piece by your favorite digital artist, only to discover the auction is run by an AI posing as them, preying on your fandom. Now consider a hyper-realistic deepfake of you acquiring debt in a metaverse casino....
Remember the early days of the internet? Wild West, right? That’s how DeFi seemed just a few years ago. “Rug pulls” started entering the broader crypto lexicon. That’s starting to change and for the better. We know regulation can be a buzzkill but it’s the only way to find out...

The crypto world loves a good narrative, and Humanity Protocol's H token is dripping with one: a fairdrop revolution. Yet the promise is unmistakable. We will fight to reclaim airdrops from the arms of the bot armies and restore them to actual, live human beings. The method? Palm scans. Yes,...
A billion-dollar valuation for the ability to palm scan? No joke. While everyone’s chasing the next crypto unicorn, I can’t shake the feeling we're blindly galloping towards a future where our bodies are the ultimate key – and the ultimate target. Humanity Protocol’s H token has skyrocketed, partially fueled by...

Zuckerberg wants AGI. Personal superintelligence, he calls it. An AI that essentially runs your life. Sounds convenient, right? Maybe. But let's be brutally honest: entrusting the keys to your existence to a single, centralized entity – especially one with Zuckerberg's track record – is a recipe for disaster. Well, it’s...
