# Web Identity

The meaning of this term is self-evident, but it's a concept that will be very important to the Network State movement and one that contains a lot of nuance and unexplored territory. Web identity describes a very broad concept, the existence of online identities that have some connection to actual people or human institutions.

#### *How is Web Identity relevant to the Network State?*
