Wouldn't it be nice if there were companies that are owned by humanity in the sense that they are managed by democratic decisions where every person in the world has one equally weighted vote?

Here, various aspects of this idea can be discussed in detail.

What mechanism can be used to verify that a participant in an online election is a real person who has only cast their vote once? (lemmy.ml)

For a “company owned by humanity” in which every person in the world has one vote, a method is needed to verify that the online identity belongs to a real person. It is also necessary to ensure that people do not register multiple times. What solutions could be used to ensure this? Which of these solutions could be implemented on a small scale with little effort, and which could theoretically be scaled to the entire world population?

One possibility would be to organize events in different locations around the world where digital identification codes are handed out to all participants, enabling them to vote online during the next time slot (e.g. 6 months). If the codes are handed out at the same time all over the world, it is not possible for one person to collect more than one code for a time slot.
