<p>I don&#x27;t understand why the concept of economic violence isn&#x27;t more mainstream. Few people seem to use it, even in academic and activist circles.</p><p>We have enough resources to give everyone a decent life. Not taking those resources to share them with everyone is a conscious choice by the state and other actors of power.</p><p>When we do austerity politics, it is a form of economic violence: common folk are asked to suffer in ways that can be extreme (and lethal) so that the rich don&#x27;t have to share.</p><p>Words hold power, and labeling things correctly helps give them more meaning. Austerity is an euphemism. Economic violence is more descriptive.</p><p><a href="/tags/economics/" rel="tag">#economics</a> <a href="/tags/violence/" rel="tag">#violence</a> <a href="/tags/politics/" rel="tag">#politics</a></p>

<p>After five years, The Digital Identity Event Horizon is published in full today: three problem statements, ten key findings, and dozens of recommendations across policy, protocol, legal, and social contexts. </p><p>It&#x27;s the largest research study in New Design Congress&#x27; eight-year history: eight case studies, hundreds of citations, dozens of participants from government, intelligence, civil society, technology, and the field itself.</p><p>It is also, without exaggeration, the most alarming body of work we have ever produced.</p><p>The argument is straightforward and difficult to reckon with: Digital identity makes societies brittle. In 2026, we find ourselves in an era of digital identity fetishism: flawed age verification schemes, biometric and facial-recognition authenticators, and fragile state-backed identity programmes are rolling out at an unprecedented rate. And every one of them, whether current or emerging, remains vulnerable to social engineering. The success rate for a non-technical attack on a user is now three out of four. These attacks cost US companies an estimated $1.6 billion in the five years to 2017 alone; by 2024, fraud runs to hundreds of billions worldwide.</p><p>READ IT HERE <a href="https://newdesigncongress.org/en/report/2026/the-digital-identity-event-horizon/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="newdesigncongress.org/en/report/2026/the-digital-identity-event-horizon/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">newdesigncongress.org/en/repor</span><span class="invisible">t/2026/the-digital-identity-event-horizon/</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/digitalidentity/" rel="tag">#digitalidentity</a> <a href="/tags/privacy/" rel="tag">#privacy</a> <a href="/tags/eupol/" rel="tag">#eupol</a> <a href="/tags/did/" rel="tag">#did</a> <a href="/tags/politics/" rel="tag">#politics</a> <a href="/tags/threatmodelling/" rel="tag">#threatmodelling</a></p>
