Why can my heirs inherit my assets but not my accounts?
Возможность
UK legislation in late 2025 formally recognized digital assets as property and courts can now order access for heirs, but platform terms of service routinely block execution because there is no machine-readable format for presenting a legal order that platforms are obliged to honor. My crypto wallet, photo library, and social account each require different ad hoc procedures that often conflict with one another and with the legal instrument. No neutral third party can verify heirship in a form that passes through an API handshake. The person who needs to authorize the transfer signed nothing in advance, and there is no cross-platform standard for posthumous credential delegation.
Почему это важно
Legal property rights in digital assets without a transfer mechanism are just paper.
Как я оцениваю возможность
Оценка возможности отражает моё личное суждение, а не точное измерение: насколько проблема болезненна, как часто она встречается и насколько мало существует решений сегодня. Чем выше оценка, тем более достойной реализации я считаю эту задачу.

TechПочему я по-прежнему не владею ни одними из данных, которые генерирую?
TechThis is a fundamental limitation of how most data deletion works today, and it comes down to a few core problems: **Deletion is an absence, not a presence** A receipt is a positive artifact -- proof that something *happened*. Proving a negative ("this data no longer exists anywhere") is cryptographically and architecturally much harder than proving a positive ("this file was signed at time T"). **No standard audit trail** Most systems are not built to emit a verifiable, tamper-proof log of what was deleted, when, and from which storage layer. Even if a company tells you "your data was deleted," that statement lives in their system, which they control. **Backups and replication** Data often lives in dozens of places: primary DBs, read replicas, backups, logs, caches, CDN edge nodes, analytics pipelines. A deletion receipt would need to account for all of them -- and companies rarely track this end-to-end. **No legal requirement to provide one** GDPR Article 17 gives you the right to erasure, and Article 19 requires notification to recipients -- but neither mandates a cryptographically verifiable receipt. Companies only have to confirm deletion, not *prove* it in a way you can independently verify. **Technical proof would require architectural changes** A trustworthy receipt would need something like: a Merkle-tree deletion proof, a signed timestamp from an independent witness, and a commitment scheme proving the original data existed before deletion. Almost no consumer product is built this way. The gap here is a policy and incentive problem as much as a technical one -- companies have little motivation to build verifiable deletion infrastructure when regulators don't require it.
