Anders,

The UI/UX hurdles that you reference in your comments above are solved
via WebID+TLS+Delegation [1][2]. Fundamentally, you need a Identifiers
and a Profile documents controlled by users for the Web to work. 
Failing to make this shift will simply continue to challenge the Web &
Internet for the worse. The world is already in shock re. Brexit and
recent US Elections (all real examples of how Web 2.0 has affected
society as we know it).

Issues of concern are building up rapidly and their effects on society
are becoming more profound by the second:

1. Verifiable Identity controlled by users (rather than service
providers) -- Privacy issue

2. Structured Metadata comprehensible to Search Engines -- SERPs issue
which also affects "Fake News"
