We will ALWAYS fall back to old ways. Wants privacy -> goes to Web3 … nope. XTMP + public blockchain = no privacy + spam based on onchain data. Full circle. You don’t need to know someone’s personal info to invade their privacy. And people are excited about it! I hope I’m wrong. Tell me I’m wrong.

I could have used a better term than “spam”. I mean any communication from a brand. Brands that adopt Web3 like Nike or Starbucks have a ton of information about our “Web3 selves” because of the blockchain. And now they can message us with ads based on that. And even sell it for their affiliates to message us

You won’t need a web interface since it’s built in to Coinbase wallet. There definitely could be some allowlist-like features. I hope there is. But knowing Web3, there won’t be any regulations for other wallets using a similar solution. Maybe GDPR will extend to wallets? That would be ideal.

This is both a problem and an opportunity. 1/ this spam problem will be fixed at protocol level with economics and at client level with UX / filtering. It is also an opportunity because clients can use this data in order to recommend relevant people to talk to.

2/ you can also create a very new wallet and only share it with people you trust (like a telephone number today). There's very little chance to have spam this way.

Continued from above…I don’t trust any company in web2 when it comes to being confident they won’t share my info. But I share the info out of necessity. I don’t see how Web3 can fix this when their company operations and partnerships and other offchain activities are not known.

Ok this starts to get interesting. Could all of those accounts be linked to a single ID…maybe one that uses ZK so no one knows it and no one can send messages to it? Or even a zk wallet where brands can’t see the address, and therefore can’t send it to their affiliates?

I think of DeSo as an extension of web2 - where your audience/community is anchored in web3. An inflection point occurs when networks are portable across platforms. If game theory is right, the first web2 platform that succumbs will domino the rest - waiting for an over the hill social platform to “Hail Mary”.
