Digital identity sits at a crossroads: it enables democratic participation, but also enables surveillance.

Castells called it in 1997. Zuboff documented how Big Tech weaponised it. Nissenbaum proposed contextual integrity as the ethical framework.

Prisma implements Nissenbaum's theory as code: W3C ODRL 2.2 policies that enforce context-appropriate data flows. Not as a concept — as running software.

🧠 Helen Nissenbaum sat down with Tech Policy Press and it's worth a listen:
🔸Privacy ≠ secrecy. It’s about contextual integrity
🔸Contextual integrity: Info should only flow in ways that fit the norms of the setting it’s in
🔸Digital surveillance is no longer theoretical, it’s omnipresent
🔸Data obfuscation isn’t sabotage—it’s self-defense

Privacy isn't just about protecting user data. It’s about balancing power between companies and users.
