I am completing a project that requires that I create a new or altered amendment to the United States Constitution. I want to create something like the Utah SEDI (State Endorsed Digital Identity) that would put in place an individual’s rights to creating and controlling their own digital identity with federal endorsement and protections. It would include things like a right to paper (every citizen has a right to have a purely paper identity and no digital identity), a right to ‘disappear’ and delete their digital presence, and data limitations on what data a company can hold about a person. It would focus on protecting individuals- especially children and others who are at higher risk to digital abuses.
I am unsure how I would write this into the US constitution/where. It needs to be legally written and defensible. I need to find supporting court cases or real world instances where these constitutional protections could have helped/prevented. I am able to find these court cases myself, but I am not opposed to any additional ones. I mainly need to figure out how to successfully hypothetically write this into the US federal constitution. If I could get pointers, examples, tips, and/or outlines- it would be greatly appreciated.
