Topic: Do you really care if your data is exploited?? - page 3. (Read 1478 times)
Data exploitation is a big issue facing the internet today. You will sign up and websites and at the end your data will be sold to advertisers and you will keep receiving emails from nowhere. Most bounties and airdrops are after such too and at the end you won't hear a single thing about them again without knowing they are after to harvest people's emails. I saw a project called online.io thy are focusing on data privacy, i just hope what they are offering will be able to deal with the situation finally.
I dont want that anybody to use my private data or some document from kyc. But i cant do nothing if it happened. But i wish that any project take care about private data of it users.
This true but on the other hand also would like to know people are on Facebook and after this data leak now we know how FB cheat us and make money based on our data and does not even pay us for using our data. So are you guys deleting your FB account or still continue using that?
I recently stumbled upon a project called Algebraix and they brought up some really good points about data exploitation on their blog (https://medium.com/algebraix-data). So it brought me to ask the question: do we really care if our data is exploited?
With huge scandals like Facebook and Cambridge Analytica, this issue is brought into the lime light. I'm really curious if you guys care or not
Yes I care! I’m not the type of person that jokes with information about myself or things that has to do with my personal life. It is very important to keep everything safe, you never know where your problem might come from. Giving out information that is meant to be kept secret can definitely land you in trouble that you will regret one day.

Sometimes they can use all thee information you gave to them to track you. Some of them also sell out your information to other bad websites that will end up spamming your email. It’s very risky, so don’t get out information to anyone.

Ofcause we care about our personal infomation. That is why people don't post your personal information on the thread. It's safety and privacy resaons.
For safety and privacy reasons, the anonymity using blockchain technology was created. Due to advanced technology, most of the transactions are done online so it is important that you have privacy because if your information will be expose then there is a possibility that your accounts would be hacked. Financial related accounts is at risk of being hacked that's why one should always be careful when giving out information especially in social media sites because this are the sites that hackers are often lurking and waiting for their next target to show up.
Why not ?
Anyone would answer yes. It is our own personality and our own right. Hackers who just use it to purchase anything that is legal is already an offense to us. It's very disrespectful because they don't have the permission in the first place and we could be paranoid when we found out on what other horrible things they make use of others' data..
Yeah of course no one wants their data exposed. that's why when I find sites that need verification data like ID cards. I never went on. I'm definitely looking for another site that does not ask for verification. because in online hackers could have stolen it right?
Privacy is not only about not giving your ID. It's also about your IP, the browser you're using, what sites you visited, what ads you clicked, the porn sites you're a fan. your email, your politic orientation and so on...
If giving your ID to an exchange is your only step because you care your privacy then better to do nothing.

I personally am also very concerned about my personal information being disclosed. But I accept that risk.
This is actually a worrying issue. Especially as some campaigns now demand KYC and we have to submit personal identity documents.
How can we ensure that our documents and data (emails etc) are not exploited?
Owing to the decentralized system of the crypto world, can we actually take any legal measure should we ever have such occurence?
The decentralized nature of the coins does not affect the fact there is a central party, the developers, that are completely responsible for that, the real issue is a matter of where they are and how to prosecute them if needed, after all even if users need to go through KYC this does not apply to the developers which can hide their identities and can be very difficult to find who they are.

Why not? Personal data is closely related to all information from life, address, etc. even bank accounts, credit cards. If this data can not be guaranteed privacy, hoaxes can be difficult and risky for you at any time. Therefore, blockchain is born and is increasingly used. 
Ofcause we care about our personal infomation. That is why people don't post your personal information on the thread. It's safety and privacy resaons.
Datas like personal information? Yes ofcourse. Who wants here to get copied using that and get scammed? Thats why we have personal information, for personal use. If some sites get this as security purposes then it would be better but not exploited it.
You can get scammed, that's the worst thing that can happen to anyone, to find out in one moment that some scammer wiped your accounts and credit cards. Next thing is bothering, they use our info to bother us with messages, with commercials of all types.
I don't like when my data is exploited just someone to make profit on that. Look what happened with face book, they are criticized for what they did, too bad that they didn't pay in some way for what they did, they should build some building for poor people or to make some playground in some poor neighborhood, face book and many other sites. Because of them we have some new regulations on that field, now internet services promise they will be careful with sensitive personal informations, we will see, but again I think they should pay for the past!
Yes of course, my data is very important this is for my own safety and to prevent me from being scammed. The recent scandals about data privacy is with Facebook but I think those data will be use in the future for some black purposes I hope my data are still safe. Protect your data as long as possible, be careful on joining bounty campaign so you will not regret later on.
The fact that we can no longer even trust our data on some of these platforms is a big issue and for one fact, it just simply looks like nothing really can be done about it than to just be careful of the information we actually dish out online about ourselves, which all the same, how much can one be careful enough without still having to dish out as much as information any platform can need to easily sell unless you just want to typically stay offline. It is just crazy!

Why will I not care about my data? Why will my data even be exploited without being compensated for it in the first place or without even my consent? Data exploitation has become something terrible and has made a lot of people to start questioning most of these platforms where they collect most of your data. I am also sure this is the main reason why people are always skeptical about the idea of KYC generally even in the cryptocurrency world.

I care about my data so also a lot of other people even outside the crypto world that even have no use for it. When your data is released to the public without authorization, it makes you feel naked despite the fact that you willingly gave the information in the first place and that is why the scandal of Cambridge Analytica led to the end of that company and would have dealt a huge blow on Facebook if Zuckerberg didn't handle it in a more mature way.
One reason why I refrain in participating in ICOs, bounties, some exchange sites that asks for details before allowing participation is because I cannot just trust them with my email at the least and because they have not proved themselves to merit my information on their platforms.
I also like the fact that you made mention of the ICOs, and really the day I started trying it was the day I started getting series of spam mails. I guess that shit is becoming a norm nowadays.

Ive been wondering whose person isnt really concerned about his identity or personal information? None,right? The thing here is that we do already done things which we do expose of our identity not might directly but just basing out on our social media accounts you are already giving out information and yes those scandals happen on facebook.Arent we aware that informations can really be sell out or being used up for their benefits? This is why i do really care about any info given out on this online world.With huge scandals like Facebook and Cambridge Analytica, this issue is brought into the lime light.
