We already have digital citizenship and already are digital citizens.

We are digital citizens of commercially owned and run countries called Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and more.

A digital citizenship is in private corporations with out many rights in exchange hold our digital identities as they see fit.

It’s why we are offered digital citizenship to a digital identity in exchange for convenience of a single sign on to click.

This can setup a relationship Of being locked out of your digital identity and whatever it is tied to.

A way to keep a balance is to only use email as login, and own your identity with your own domain for email that at least can be moved between providers if you don’t want to manage your own.
