This is the 17th in a series of largely demographic interviews that are conducted with established residents, to find out more about them and their involvement with Second Life, and to contrast the differences between their views and experiences and those of the newer residents. The questions may be tailored slightly for each interview; responses may be edited for purposes of clarity.

Laetizia's a forthright, outspoken and interesting Second Life blogger, whom I have been running into increasingly of late in various venues. You can trust Laetizia to speak her mind - so I decided to contact her to let her do just that.

This is a bit of a multipart question on age/identity verification. In Robin Linden's words: "We should remember that some identification is about trust building. At some point people may decide they want to verify different aspects of who they are in RL." (thanks Laetizia)

Given that there is no apparent provision for verifying that it is your own details that are provided for verification to Integrity Services (you could use your brother's, sister's, a friend's, a parent's, relative's or co-worker's), what level of trust in the results do you have, as a user. Would that verification of another person raise your trust, reduce it, or have no effect? Remember, this verification is all supposed to be for you and me, to increase the trust we may hold in others.

Does the link between Integrity Services and Aristotle (who were subject to some apparent scandal for what people saw as breaching confidentiality/privacy of information) incline you to trust them less with your information?

And just for contrast with the preceeding questions (since this is about trust), do you trust that I am an adult Australian, as I claim to be, or do you have some doubts as to whether I am an Australian, or even an adult?
