Well, you're not wrong about that. However, concerns over privacy can vary depending on how a recommendation algorithm uses our personal data. It’s a double-edged sword.
When it comes to content recommendations that enhance users' experience on the platform, I think we can both agree that it’s generally acceptable.
But what if that data starts being used for other purposes, like selling it to brands, politicians, or others? Wouldn't that raise concerns about privacy and the use of personal data?
On the other hand, why do most people on this platform hide their identities? For example, I wear a mask in my profile picture, and you use a cat. Can we agree that it's because we don't entirely feel safe sharing our data here?
So, in my opinion, it depends on how the data is being used—or whether one can simply opt in or out of the algorithm.
Yes people can remain as anonymous as they want on here. That is a personal choice.
Again, when you mention the data, what personal data are you referring to? You mention politicians buying the data? Why would they do that? It is on chain. Anyone can scrape it.
If it is on chain, it is public. How personal people get with what they reveal, well that is up to the individual.
I myself is interested to work in solving this problem. If Id have a time, maybe, I'll try to dig into the database and implement some opensourced graph algorithm out there. Let's see 😄
You can push a privacy layer over the top certainly. That is something some have talked about. It could enhance the ability for people to mask what they are doing since right now it is wide open. Everything on chain is open to being scraped and parsed.
