Yes. So as I mentioned, the digital public infrastructure, or DPI, needs to come with a digital privacy infrastructure. And the privacy infrastructure that I’m personally very excited about is called meronymity. It’s an interesting word. Meron means “part.” So meronymity means partially real name and partially anonymous. Previously, in the analog world, if you want to prove that you are over 18 years old, maybe you want to rent a car or buy some substance, then you reveal your ID, which contains not just the fact that you are an adult, but also your birthday and your name and your address or whatever. Right? It reveals too much; it’s the over-collection of private data.
