## Online identity beyond today's internet
Initiatives like [Solid](https://inrupt.com/solid) by [Sir Tim Berners-Lee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Berners-Lee) are paving the way for a new internet where all data is owned by the user and shared with platforms with consent and restrictions. This would solve the online identity problem: you get the benefits of a centralized account while maintaining full ownership over all account-related data. Social media would be allowed to see some data, messaging platforms some other data. But there would still be one single account to rule all the platforms.
