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.

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?

If you want to organize online polls that many people can participate in easily, what software can you use? What software meets the criteria of open source, security, transparency, good documentation, scalability, flexibility, etc.?

This question is relevant because establishing a “company owned by humanity” requires a solution that enables people to participate in voting on matters concerning this company.

Which software may only be suitable for smaller communities? Are there technical solutions for voting software that could theoretically be scaled to the entire world population?

When votes are held to decide which initiatives a “company owned by humanity” will implement, should these votes be secret or public? Should everyone be able to see who voted for which option, or should this information remain private or not be collected?

Should there be profiles for every active member of the community that document exactly who voted how in each vote?

Should the voting decisions be visible to everyone on the internet or only accessible to a specific group of people (e.g., those who participated in the vote)?
