Hey all - just wanted to share some of my concerns about the public nature of our casts/behavior on FC. Hoping for an open dialogue on where we think this is headed, and in the long run, how to provide privacy protections from a user content perspective. https://paragraph.xyz/@barrycollier/farcaster-content-graph

Thanks for writing this up. The Farcaster protocol is focused on real-time, public information. Don't use it if you are worried about information being public. Anyone is free to use the graph to build a privacy-focused social network. So nothing stopping someone from building something that focuses on your goals.

Thx for writing and sharing. Really great perspective. I am a bit of a reformed privacy maxi. I ended up giving up what I thought was a losing battle. The rewards and incentives against it were too strong. Is there a world where data can be public but the antibodies for protecting us happen at the UX/client level? 🤔

Good read! Hoping there are encrypted channels in the future, but I think the default open data will foster a collective immune system against the abuse that happens on centralized networks. Ex: Strong digital identity/reputation + a norm of only trusting media signed by a reputable source.

cambridge analytica is the perfect reference point. influence and manipulation is way easier than most people realize, and leaves us pretty vulnerable in ways we're not conscious of. on the bright side, we'll get better targeted ads

appreciate you taking the time to write and share, yet it feels like the best way to not expose yourself to the privacy concerns around a public, permissionless content network is to not post on one?

thanks for sharing, this is an interesting take. I take the view that everything is public in a sense, even on proprietary platforms given data breaches or how they may sell my data to third parties. With FarCaster being public by default, at least I don't have a false sense of security. I think awareness is key.

I think this is a very valid set of concerns, and I like how in depth you got in your position. For me, I always treat social the way I would being out in public for the most part. I’m not going to say or do things I would regret. But I get that your point is more around people hi jacking and targeting. That’s real

glad we're seeing more conversations about privacy/AI like these. hopefully teams can have healthy discussions with users and experts on these topics. the answer is not always either "don't use it" or "build your own client," there's more to this imo

1/ Public spaces, digital and IRL, will continue to exist and serve an important purpose at one end of the privacy spectrum. Public networks are designed to amplify information distribution, so if I want my media to be seen by as many people (and agents) as possible, that’s where I will go.

Privacy is definitely a concern of mine with public blockchains even though I do believe in its use.

maybe we'll all have a primary/public account for creation and a alt/anon account for consumption

All the things I’ve been thinking. Thank you. That personalty profile frame really unnerved me. I knew it was coming but still I’d like to have a little more control. At least the right to know who is accessing what, why and how often. It also makes me want a community owned client even more than I did

I agree. There could be more than one solution, were we get a compromise with the best of both worlds. The symptoms would speak more about the cure, but it’s a smart choice to get the ball rolling, early.
