Smart but now there’s another third entity you have to trust to aggregate all this personal information from a slew of users just to… avoid the same situation initially? Sort of seems like only a marginal improvement.
- aaomidi 4y agoThe third party can’t really do much with this data.
- johannes1234321 4y agoThe third party can still see which users decode the exact same string, thus derive relationship networks. (If i regularily share links to my friends they all resolve it at the third party to te "canonical" form, that third party then knows that all those are my friends)
- aaomidi 4y agoAssuming you can even decode it. Could just be an encrypted string.
- yjftsjthsd-h 4y agoIt doesn't even need to be that. If I were facebook, that string would just be an index in some internal Facebook key-value store.
