things user/profile systems fuck up, bad assumptions- the user will never delete their account- the user should be expected to individually delete their posts - the user will never change their legal name- the user will never change their email address- the user will never change their phone number - if they do change those things, surely they will think to use our change info ui before getting rid of their old name/phone number/email address- the same as above, but with SSO linkages

- the user will never want or need a copy of their data- the user doesn’t need or want their data in any standard easily readable formats, - some json or xml blob should be good enough right? that’s standard and readable, right?

- the user wishes to have their identity be immutable and persistent - that is to say, continue to be associated with old posts , analytics data and content regardless of the number of name and identifying info changes, thanks to “helpful” permafingerprint algorithms tracking the user across identity changes.

- the user will never have a stalker, an abusive ex, or angry internet mob- the user probably doesn’t mind having their full legal name and list of postal addresses listed on the public web a google searcg away. i mean, it’s public data right? information wants to be free dude. you can just unregister to vote if you don’t like it.

- the user database will never be hacked or leakedthis one is interesting from the perspective of: if you start from the assumption your user database definitely will be leaked: what design decisions do you make differently

These 6 things are different things, not the same thing. they do not require each other nor are they required by each other.

@xerz what if you’re a pirate with stolen booty and you are highly private about its location and yet do not own it?

I should have said 'everything is *in principle* on the internet forever'.I forgot that important caveat.

That is to say, you can't prevent anyone from archiving your stuff.

>Archives are sometimes deleted, I was just reading about that recently.I guess in principle, data is kept for ever but in practice, if it's not on a trusted archive no one will believe it.This all changes if signatures are thrown in though.

- the user doesn’t care if their profile is indefinitely indexed by search engines by any and every old name they have ever had.

I mentioned I had a list to someone who happens to be a product manager of a major identity system, who was interested in having a meeting with me- as a trans woman, about how to make these things more inclusive. is there anything here on my list that I have missed?

@zens Some of my favorite assumptions:- the user's computer meets X spec- the user owns a computer- the user has exclusive access to an internet connected device- the user can receive out-of-band messages (sms, etc.)- the user will always be in a position to communicate both in and out of band at the same time- the user has power and an internet connection at all times- the application can use as much of the user's compute resources and communication bandwidth as it needs with no limits

@zens I realize these are not in the same vein of gender and identity as the rest of your awesome list, but I'm always bothered by the quiet classism I see in a lot of tech, and I think avoiding that is vital to true inclusiveness

@zens Some more bad assumptions, actually about identity this time:- there is no legitimate reason for multiple physical beings to share a single identity- there is no legitimate reason for a single physical being to have multiple identities- a user's identity can be validated by some official authority- the user can produce any piece of official documentation of their identity
