Question
Define: identity (digital society)
Answer
What defines a person, group, social entity or organization and distinguishes it from others.
Question
The three layers of online identity
Answer
Declared (you wrote it), recorded (observed as you use the service), inferred (estimated from the recorded).
Question
Which layer matters most?
Answer
The inferred one. It decides what you are shown, offered and charged — and you cannot see or correct it.
Question
Why does verification carry power?
Answer
Whoever verifies identity decides who can act. A failed fingerprint check under Aadhaar can block food someone is entitled to.
