But I thought this was freedom tech? 🧐
Discussion
It's only free when you know who has your data. Nothing is free if you don't pay attention to them and maintain it over time.
Serious questions…Why do they want the data at all? Why do they care how users scroll through posts in real time?
Collecting people's interest in products they see in the feed can be key drivers for offering ads on other platforms. They can just sell your interests for profit.
But I thought Nostr didn’t want ads. I thought Nostr didn’t want to be like legacy media. Seems like mixed messaging. Is it true that data is being collected?
Anyone can sell your data to anyone else. A relay is somebody else's property, not yours. This is true for ALL servers, all websites, all apps. If a server doesn't explicitly promise you to not sell your data on their terms and conditions for use, it's likely that they are selling it.
So nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg has many relays added to the app. So any of those relays could be selling my data. Is that correct?
This thread is a great dialogue between nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z and I about data and relays on Nostr. Questions asked and answered. Thanks for sharing your insights nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z. ⭐️
