About this listen
Passkeys were supposed to make the internet safer.
No passwords. No hacks. No phishing.
But what if they’re also quietly turning the internet into a human-verified system—where your device, behavior, and identity are persistently recognized every time you log in?
In this episode, we break down how passkeys actually work, why they’re being rolled out so aggressively, and how they could be laying the groundwork for digital IDs, reduced anonymity, and silent tracking across the web. From platform-level authentication to device-based identity, we explore how convenience is reshaping freedom online.
We also connect the dots to the Dead Internet Theory—a web dominated by bots, synthetic traffic, and fake engagement—where proving you’re “real” becomes more important than staying anonymous.
Are passkeys the future of online security…
or the beginning of an internet where being human means being tracked?
Watch until the end to decide for yourself.
