Crucial details about what companies do with our data is buried in masses of legalese \u2014 prompting most of us to click \u201cI agree\u201d without thinking of the consequences.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In other cases, companies are unacceptably opaque about how our data is used. This is a big problem when businesses are offering their services for \u201cfree\u201d\u2026 provided we can give our email address, phone number and a few other details.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A scene from the recent sci-fi <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> Maniac perfectly illustrated where the world is heading. A character is given a choice \u2014 they can either pay for their subway ticket or get it for free in exchange for some personal information. As you\u2019d guess, they bluntly chose the latter.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">That\u2019s basically what we\u2019re doing every day \u2014 giving our data to corporations, big and small, and sacrificing our privacy and freedom in the process.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It\u2019s gotten so bad that individual states have had to step in with rules and regulations designed to protect the public, many of whom are unaware of what they\u2019re signing up for when they tick a seemingly innocuous box on a website.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">And it\u2019s also telling that tech giants are worried about the taps being turned off. When <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>le unveiled a new feature that would enable users to opt out of having their activity tracked across apps and websites, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> launched a ferocious PR campaign against the measures. The social network said it was speaking out to protect the small businesses who rely on its platform for targeted advertising. Cynics among you will see it as a brazen attempt to protect profits by a company charged with some of the most insidious and influential data mining in history.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pandoras_box_has_been_opened\"><\/span>Pandora\u2019s box has been opened<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The tide is beginning to change \u2014 because we\u2019ve opened Pandora\u2019s box \u2014 and the world is starting to have long-overdue discussions about the privacy we\u2019re entitled to online.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For more than 10 years now, we\u2019ve experienced abundant financial freedom thanks to Bitcoin (BTC) and its rivals\u2026 but there\u2019s still a long way to go in other parts of our society.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Last week, I went to the shop and spontaneously bought some moisturizer, and when I got home, I did a Google search to learn more about the product. For the next seven days, I was bombarded with moisturizer ads on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Just like our health, our well-being and our careers, freedom is an inner personal responsibility that we need to monitor, maintain and protect \u2014 especially in the digital realm, where it can all too easily be sold in exchange for access to free services.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To feel free and safe in our homes, we rely on the privacy of our ownership, and the trustworthiness of our friends and neighbors. Government laws and housing association rules underwrite this. But we also entrust our financial privacy to institutions \u2014 in the expectation that they will be held accountable by regulators and central banks \u2014 and the whole reason Bitcoin launched in 2009 was because our expectations weren\u2019t being met.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_blockchain_is_the_answer\"><\/span>Why blockchain is the answer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Every modern proof-of-stake blockchain tackles the problems surrounding digital privacy and trust in a unique way, and in these vibrant communities, decentralized governance helps to ensure that standards are upheld, with slashing mechanisms serving as a deterrent to those who are tempted to work against a network\u2019s best interests.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">With PoS blockchains, users benefit from informed consent. They\u2019re kept in the loop about proposals for improving and expanding the network and ideas for new services. Digital social consensus means they can read debates about the pros and cons associated with each proposal, come to their own conclusions, and cast a vote accordingly. Can you honestly imagine a tech giant doing this?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Privacy issues can be solved by generating abstract network addresses that are not permanently tied to public keys \u2014 or through the use of special proxy smart contracts, which are similar to VPN and Tor but on top of the blockchain.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Can blockchain <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> solve some of the most pressing privacy and trust issues seen in a generation? I believe so. Once the technology is there and transactions are cheap enough, consumers will be able to make a choice \u2014 share their private data or pay a small fee instead.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We need to learn harsh lessons from the past and make the right decision this time around. I remember the early days of email when spam messages were a big issue. A small sender\u2019s fee was considered as a way of circumventing this problem \u2014 but in the end, the likes of Gmail came out on top. Now, there\u2019s no monetary cost\u2026 we just pay the small price of Google hosting all of our electronic correspondence.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Proof-of-stake blockchains can deliver cheap transactions, decentralized governance that regulates the network\u2019s rules, maximum privacy, and no data collection policies. Each story starts with trust \u2014 and in the blockchain world, the trust starts with the network.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post-content__disclaimer\"><em>The views, thoughts and opinions expressed here are the author\u2019s alone and do not necessarily reflect or represent the views and opinions of Cointelegraph.<\/em><\/p>\n<div>\n<div style=\"background: rgb(239, 239, 239); border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 10px;\"><strong>Vladimir Maslyakov<\/strong> is the CTO of Thekey.space and former CTO of Exante.eu.
