You probably have come across words such as “privacy” “data” “protection” often over the past a couple of years. There are Congress and Senate hearings regarding protecting consumer data and privacy in the United States, regulation to govern how personal data can be processed or transferred in the European Union, documentaries and investigations to expose how internet companies are selling user data, etc.
Every click we make, every page we open, every item we look at, are all transferred into data that is collected by some companies. The worst part is that they use this data collected FROM you to SELL you stuff. You earn NOTHING by compromising your privacy, while SPENDING more money because of those ads targeted at you. If you haven’t, then you should, realize it is time to pay attention to your own privacy, to protect your personal information, and to guard your personal data.
That’s also why you want to take a look at Oasis Network, a blockchain project aimed to protect user privacy in the rapidly changing data economy. It leverages blockchain technology to create a decentralized data platform with benefits of immutability and traceability. Its privacy-preserving design ensures the data sovereignty is in the hands of the individual who really owns it, instead of some internet companies or other entities.
Maybe that is the best we can get for now: decentralized and private duo. Imagine one day, you know what and how your personal data is collected, you control what part of your personal information being analyzed, and you still enjoy the convenience as of today without the concerns of your personal information being mishandled. Furthermore, you earn some money by allowing the apps to process your data!
