INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - nvtip -- Phinge® Corporation CEO Robert DeMaio, sole inventor of Phinge's 5 software patents, public pending patent application and public prior art disclosures, all anchored to priority dates back to June 2021, today publicly announced he is offering to voluntarily testify before Congress on the critical intersection of federal intellectual property law, privacy, cybersecurity, user data sovereignty and property rights in the age of AI. Mr. DeMaio who is also the single inventor of 30 granted hardware patents, will be reaching out to members on the appropriate committees notifying them of his intentions.

Mr. DeMaio aims to provide lawmakers with critical insight and technical proof of Phinge's foundational granted patents anchored to its June 2021 priority disclosures. This baseline establishes that a secure, verified, user-centric digital economy will be a reality. Under Phinge's patented Netverse® framework, true data sovereignty dictates that each individual rather than centralized tech monopolies strictly own, control, and directly monetize their own personal data, IP and digital assets

Transforming the Consumer Experience Through True User Data Sovereignty

Testifying before congressional oversight committees would allow Mr. DeMaio to demonstrate the uniqueness and importance of recurring, tangible benefits Phinge's Netverse will deliver natively to everyone.

• The Death of Non-Consensual AI Training and Data Scraping: In the current digital landscape, massive artificial intelligence models are built by aggressively scraping the public's private text, content, images, and digital behavior without explicit consent or fair if any compensation. Phinge's 2021 patented architecture fundamentally cuts off this exploitation at the root. By enforcing a secure, hardware-verified identity through its, universal, integrated, codebase, and top level username, external corporate web crawlers and AI scraping algorithms won't exist in Netverse harvesting user data and conducting digital surveillance. Phinge's verified Netverse Intelligence™, NI™ wishing to utilize a consumer's unique data profile for training models must first request and receive permission and route fair, transparent financial compensation directly to that user based on agreeable compensation.
• Verified NI, Netverse Intelligence, Not AI, Artificial Intelligence: As information searched and utilized throughout Netverse will come from verified sources such as individuals, businesses, entities and organizations, by extension Netverse Intelligence will be verified.
• Direct Wealth Redistribution: Instead of tech monopolies extracting and profiling user behavior for corporate profit, Phinge's integrated transaction rails flip the economy. If a verified merchant or individual(s) wants to interact with a user's consumer data, Netverse utilizes direct, transparent financial compensation set by each user through a universal rewards economy
• An Ironclad Digital Shield Against Abuse: By replacing vulnerable cloud tracking networks with zero-trust authorized user devices, consumers gain un-hackable privacy. The Netverse architecture natively keeps out the constant barrage of malicious tracking, intrusive targeted ads, and hidden data brokers.
• The Eradication of Network Scourges: By enforcing a strict hardware-verified identity standard, the patented architecture structurally eliminates the propagation of malicious bots, automated spam, malware, identity theft, and deepfake AI impersonations. Consumers can operate in a secure, zero-trust digital environment where every interaction is guaranteed to be verified, safer and human.
• App-Less Operational Freedom: Users are completely liberated from the traditional, fragmented app-store model. By executing services directly through Phinge patented, universal, integrated codebase, top level username, and authorized user devices, consumers bypass the need to ever download, update, or surrender personal device permissions to invasive third-party applications.
• Platform by All, Not By Big Tech: In Netverse each individual will decide their customizeable experiences not the CEO or the board. No longer will big tech decide en masse what they think is best for their bottom line instead of their users.

A Ready-to-Deploy User-Centric Solution

Mr. DeMaio's testimony will show Congress that protecting American consumers from surveillance capitalism does not require complex new regulations. The technological infrastructure to safely transition the nation toward a secure, verified, fraud reduced, and economically fair digital future for the benefit of its consumers, businesses and users was fully conceptualized, invented and patented in June 2021 by Mr. DeMaio. Phinge is ready to share this blueprint with federal lawmakers to establish a new benchmark for consumer cyberdefense and personal data property rights. The future is user data sovereignty not surveillance capitalism.
