They were originally inspired for mapping public blockchain use-cases, but IMO personal identity and related keys should _never_ be put on a public chain, who thinks this could ever be a good idea or architecture?

Between the FAANGs basically already having near-universal identifiers for all of us and everyone's information being leaked in a variety of breaches to where it's essentially public knowledge to any black hats or state actors I'm not sure how down the downsides are?
