User control in identity management is beset with a number of problems, as outlined in this paper. It is argued that akin to traditional contexts, greater user control will result in greater user liability, which is demonstrated with the help of digital and non-digital examples. In this context, there is a critical need for greater user empowerment. This could be achieved in two ways–first, facilitating user awareness of identity management technologies, their scope and effects and second, through the implementation of proposed control-liability notices.
