Do you really care if your data is exploited??

[teddyelwyn]

Such interesting perspectives about data privacty...I personally care a lot about my data not because I'm hiding something but moreso that my info would be out there for anyone to exploit. Whether that's info or my behavior, that is all very valuable info to businesses and even to criminals.

I do like the solution that Algerbaix presents. They offer a unique position for the advertising market. I like that people would get rewarded directly for their attention

[nniecan001]

It's a clear "No", specially if you want your privacy on a solid platform. That's why I don't want to support the KYC program of some selected crypto project now a days. Hoping someone understand my point of view on that thing, no hurt feeling guys.

[scambust]

I don't care as long as no personal information is shared. These internet services need to earn, nothing is free. You sell your data and you get to use their sites for "free".

[BillCoin]

It  really depends what data is being exploited.
If I revealed my email address on coindesk's email alert, and their database has been hacked and my email has been revealed, nothing really happened, and all I will need to put attention to phishing attempts ( as the exploiters know that I am cryptocurrency user).
But if we are talking about exploring all my bank info and KYC documents from a major exchange, then I will care of course, as someone has all my details, know where I live and how many bitcoins I own.

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

There is a care and no, maybe some people will not care about their data on facebook for example. But some people are using facebook for personal interests and very private. I personally also really care about the data I save anywhere.

I agree. Have you looked into Algebraix? They offer a very interesting solution to that.

It looks like this topic has been quite popular lately.  I've been following BitClave for quite a while! They're working on a decentralized search engine. Besides, it's supposed to be monetized. It means we'll store our data on a blockchain. We'll have private keys to keep it safe. And if we decide to reveal it, we'll be rewarded. Here's their short video which explains the main concept of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coOgmyEDsgw.

Anyone who thinks they don't care if their personal data is exploited probably just haven't had their data exploited yet or don't realise that it is. I do care if Google is showing me search results based on what it thinks would appeal to me, for example. I want the base results everyone should get, and not what some algorithm thinks I would prefer. I don't care if ads show me things it thinks I want to buy/read/support, I don't care much for ads.

When you find out someone's been using your name, your profile, your image, your words... and attributing it to someone else, you would care. When a bank sells your address and phone to annoying marketers who call you up incessantly, oh, you would care.

i do care about my data because it's so important for me and since facebook scandal several times ago i was more carefully regarding conditions from the particular sites and i would never again submit my personal data to untrustable sites because i was fear those sites will abusing those data

Since the bounty participants able to create the fake accounts in large numbers they are mostly go to hunt the tokens from this option. But you need to regulate the participants rules strict towards bounty campaign and people also awarewhile sharing KYC whatever the things will be happen behind it.
If they all those things then the data will not be shared to anyone else here or elsewhere bro.

[ralle14]

I have to ask which type of data because on websites like Facebook and twitter almost anything can be faked or edited unless we are talking about IDs or infomations used for verifications. I agree to what buwaytress said, I don't care when I was still new to social media sites but after receiving tons of pms and friend requests I started to care a lot.

[Vinalians]

I voted yes of course does anyone here wanted to exploit their information especially those private information of them. We will not tolerate this someone will make action in this situation for sure. Be careful on what you are investing with.

[bitcoinFPT]

If it made for target advertisement - I don't care
But it using for still my money, make a credit or something same - I don't want it

Having no good reasons for stealing someone's personal information
When personal informations are stolen, marketer or sales make calls, disturbing you that will make you crazy.
or someone stealing information and login facebook as a friend, tell your relatives, friends to lend money or request to pay phone card
Not to mention that you go to the bank and the teller say that you borrowed money last (amount of money you did not know)
That's the reason I can not accept that my personal information is stolen

Yeah. I started out on the internet really careful, even never used social media and real names and details online. Hated it when government forced to do verification for almost everything in the mid 2000s (even for buying a sim card!) and I could never prove things like that were the source of spam calls I would later get.

My work in recent years has forced me to use names and other personal data online, unfortunately. Needed to eat so had to comply (LinkedIn and other social media, for example were the main culprits). I've already seen several fake profiles with my credentials used online and I've no doubt it's from these platforms.

Using fake details on a social media platform is bad and it is against their rules because you are pretending to be someone else. Your account may lead to permanent  ban if ever you have been caught by their bot. Much better if you can just use your real name and other info , so that you can be safe from other known issues that may occur in the future .

I dont really think social media platform like facebook are exploiting our data , besides we are already aware that social media sites are public and every people can see our feeds and status.

[Melvin Narag]

Well for me yes it's okay since I only provide limited information on my account specially to other media like twitter and Facebook, since they can ask me personally for other information, but I hate to see my name used and it was on the list wherein you can see that your are one of the supporters of a certain project.

[V1lpu]

The biggest part of data you care is already exploited, we use 'free' services which aren't actually free.

They have started banning the fake ID and feature pages on Twitter bro. So ICO project owners might not have their account on Twitter on long time once they registered with the site. After this you can find project on the different social network.

Facebook does not seems locked all the social media advertisement pages on FB but still they are looking to ban on ICO project web pages.
If you share the data to ICO owners while investing on good ICO projects.

[paul gatt]

Of course I would be very interested in that. If my data is exploited then this is a security risk for my account. Database is exploited, its security is no longer. You need to have a way of dealing with the data being exploited.

[alihassan99]

definitly i think everyone  care about his data...  and i do also care about my data.. and i know facebook and other social apps sometimes exploited the data..
