We published the second finding from our digital identity report today!
THE DIGITAL IDENTITY ACCOUNTABILITY GAP
(Key Finding 2 of 10 from The Digital Identity Event Horizon)
Read here: https://newdesigncongress.org/en/note/2025/key-finding-2/
Digital identity is often defined vaguely or inconsistently, allowing for wide interpretation through market-driven definitions that frequently contradict each other. The gap enables the misuse of digital identity and now leads to a collapse in institutional trust.
Our second Key Finding highlights the urgent need for a clear, widely accepted definition of digital identity that prioritises individual rights and privacy. The lack of a universal definition for digital identity, outlined in Key Finding 1 and published last week, creates significant challenges in policy-making, systems design, and everyday use. Definitions vary widely based on personal interests, market forces, and technological trends, and the resulting ambiguity allows for harm to slip through the cracks — sometimes accidentally, sometimes not. For those living in highly digitised societies, the consequences are evident: trust in digital identity systems is undermined by their inherent contradictions and failures.
