Coin Center's Peter Van Valkenburgh and Ian Miers analyze the core problem: how agents get authenticated as real representatives of users raises serious privacy questions. They propose user-controlled signals that could address fraud concerns while protecting privacy, limiting damage from hacked customer databases, and preventing platforms from using security as an excuse to lock users in.
