🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A browser extension that provides a privacy-focused sandbox for logging into professional networking sites to prevent cross-site tracking.
  2. A community-driven dashboard that tracks and reports the frequency and types of 'persona verification' triggers across major platforms.
  3. A simplified, transparent identity verification protocol that allows users to prove humanity without invasive data collection or account lockouts.
