Company Owned By Humanity

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?

One day f my favorite stories is Estonia tried this. For "security" they had a video camera looking at the server and posted it live on the web. Now, that shouldn't matter since most attacks would come over the internet, not visible on the camera but that's not the fun part...

If you looked past the computer and onto the whiteboard behind it, the wifi password was written and broadcasted for the world to see.
