If our goal is decentralization and our flag is self-sovereign identity and technology then we need to analyze our completely new protocols from a human rights perspective under the presumption that "big players" with platform business models are going to take advantage of our work on the data models regardless of the protocols we invent on top of the data models. Therefore, it is up to us to invent the protocols that mitigate the use of VCs and DIDs by incumbent and wannabe platforms. Or else we should stop pretending that we're doing decentralization under an SSI flag. Adrian
