RE: The Currency of the Future

The problem these days is how easy it is to spread information. You can put something online and it can very hard to get it taken down. I heard Musk was releasing details of some government employees and that's probably not allowed. I'm sure it happens amongst kids as a new form of bullying. My other half works in a school too, so knows the issues.

I have always been very careful about what information I put online about anyone. There are some of my own details that I would not put on the public internet. Of course someone else could find these out and there's the whole issue of 'doxing'. I know it's happened on Hive with some people who don't use their real name on there.

We've had the whole 'right to be forgotten' thing recently and now I see that certain names are blocked in ChatGPT. Names are not generally unique, so it opens up all sorts of issues. The internet is certainly a can of worms...

That's a really good point. It is easy to spread stuff these days and I am sure that contributes to it. I don't reveal everything about myself either, but if someone was determined, I am sure they could figure it out. It's just one of those things I guess.
