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
