the personal info of *3 billion* people was stolen and put up for sale for $3.5M. but why only 3.5M? is our personal data so insecure and mundane to buyers that addresses, full names, and SSNs are only worth $0.001? blows my mind... https://news.bloomberglaw.com/privacy-and-data-security/background-check-data-of-3-billion-stolen-in-breach-suit-says

who else has been following how KOSA (Kids Online Safety Act) passed the Senate? https://techcrunch.com/2024/07/30/controversial-internet-bill-kosa-passed-by-senate/ sure, it's a bill meant to protect children from viewing damaging content online; content that could inspire an eating disorder, trauma, sexual exploitation, or other harm. i'm all for this. i've personally felt damaged by unrestricted internet use as a child, and I've spoken to many children who feel attacked and vulnerable to addictive and/or toxic online content. but the bill will require internet users to verify their age and will tie your real life ID to your online identity. what? the platforms already know who's underage and who's not - their product analytics can tell pretty accurately. once again, the govt leaves no shot untaken to consolidate power, erode privacy rights, and boost surveillance.

21 states and 50 lawmakers backed the tiktok ban citing “consumer privacy” concerns. and only 3 days after the meta paid 1.4B for collecting biometric info illegally… the call is coming from inside the house https://www.reuters.com/legal/more-than-50-us-lawmakers-21-states-back-doj-tiktok-lawsuit-2024-08-02/

there’s this rising narrative that improving crypto’s UX is enough to bring 1B+ users onchain, but I disagree: competing solely on UX against incumbents with fewer tech limitations and a history of aggressively copying successful features seems futile. what we can and should compete on is values. cypherpunk values like privacy, open-source, data sovereignty, decentralization, and self-custody set our industry apart from big tech, and we need to push that messaging harder. especially as global authoritarianism rises, surveillance spreads, inflation grows, geopolitical tensions fester… people will need cypherpunk tools to protect their rights to privacy, data sovereignty, trade, etc. & big tech can’t promise them that. i suggest builders read up on the cypherpunks and consider these values and bake them into their apps. crypto apps are ephemeral but cypherpunk apps achieve PMF forever.
