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.

Would love to hear @aeluteia thoughts about this. Literally the MOST privacy conscious person I've ever met and impressively so! 😎😁

Would love to hear @aeluteia's thoughts as well!

And just to be clear, while I'm for a consumer's right to choose how their data is accessed, my larger concern is the societal impact of a (near) zero privacy protocol at scale.

If FC wants to grow to 1B+ DAU without any privacy controls, it feels very problematic.

I really like this idea of 'privacy by design, disclosure by choice'. I'm sure there are tradeoffs, and I would be curious to read an analysis of what those are from the application's perspective. From the user's perspective discovery might be one of them, which is why optional disclosure being built in is cool.
