 How are mobile drivers licensed helping people “take back” their identity? If anything, this is a massive centralizing effort that just gives authoritative regimes more power. 
 i don't understand your question - mobile drivers license as in digital version of traditional driving license? web5 is on architecture level, you have your data wallet and you log in to any commerce site while keeping your info with you  - similar to having your identity and being able to log in to various clients on nostr.   
 The context is specifically about mdls 
 its one of their use cases in explaining the standardization - i presume its to take back state-controlled DMVs. Existing digital options are centralized and interconnected with everything 
 Absolutely agree. As to your question--Here in Utah the mDL is advertised as giving citizens the ability to limit the data shared with businesses or entities. So for example, if someone wanted to prove they were old enough to watch Deadpool & Wolverine at the theatre they could display the UT mDL, but with their legal name, address, donor status, etc. all redacted. Fortunately, your astute observation is shared by most Utahns and it has not taken off. 
 interesting. So the alternative option is to remain manual and prevent digitalisation ?
