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

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.

2/ In the pre-AI era, public content was consumed by crawlers like Google, because we wanted it to be found. IMO Cambridge Analytica was abuse by a bad actor using FB’s data, violating FB’s ToS, and then FB taking the PR fall because it had a target on its back for commoditizing the news industry

3/ private digital spaces will coexist with public digital spaces. Note that privacy is a cultural phenomenon, and mean different things to different cultures. Most extreme example are Germany vs Brazil. Individual granularity of privacy is more often a stated preference vs a revealed one.

All of that feels accurate re: CA/FB The question I posed: if FC gets to scale w/ mainstream adoption, how do we prevent another CA from occurring here? FB was able to shut off access to CA, but anyone can spend $10 like I did, spin up an ec2 inst. and download the entire FC graph to build psych models on every FID
