Why can't we trust Marky? :( He clearly says that he doesn't sell it. We should give him all our information for safekeeping. 😊
But seriously, though, the only solution right now is not giving him any more information. All that he has he will keep, all that he has given will stay given and no legal consequences will unfold, since law enforcement benefits from his "generosity".
What's left is the future. I agree with the 'delete your facebook' movement in that sense.
Even the noblest of corporations can be cracked, though. Decentralization might be the way, but if it's all on the blockchain and permanently stored, publicly like on Steem, it might also not be the best for our privacy 😂
But blockchain also allows for encryption! My favorite thing ever :D And Tor and other things. Isn't Tor also partially decentralized? It's still emitted by the same company, but the nodes are controlled by so many people that it's hard for any law enforcement agency to control the majority and have a significant amount of information from intercepting the communications.
Thanks for reading and for your comment.
Yes, it is possible to mine any data posted on Steem. But Steem does not track your phone or activities outside of the Steem platform. You may decide to post about a trip or about one of your hobbies and therefore decide it is ok for people to know that about you.
There is a lot to think about when it comes to privacy, censorship, overall freedom, etc.
@liotap, great find, albeit sickening, yet expected. Materially everything he stated in the 2009 BBC interview has proved false. "...open up the process on how the site is governed..."
Great point in how Steem does not enable data mining to go beyond Steem. FB and IG creep deep into individuals activities well beyond that which takes place on their platform, including searching the megadata on your smart phone.
see this post my all friend. And be aware. I am linking you to the
awareness. please See that. @liotap
