197 While living abroad a few years ago I wanted to use Skype to call USA via my computer. They wouldn't let me sign up without me giving my cell number. So no skype for me. I intensely dislike how everything is being geared so that you have to use a phone to do it. They want your phone on to keep tabs. 🤢 These people are sick! 🤮 posted 1 year ago by AngelTrumpet 1 year ago by AngelTrumpet +199 / -2 . 53 comments share 53 comments share save hide report block hide replies
Web3 is supposedly the answer to all of that.
The whole pitch is the user owns their data and their account is their wallet, and so a new account (wallet) can be generated and you can start fresh
That’s the pitch at least.
And there’s a lot of people in that world who believe strongly in that use case
Obviously there’s the flip side and the real risk it goes the other way and it’s just improved tracking and monitoring we can’t escape.
Too early to tell at this point imo
Start over might be good. Although I bought my first computer in the late 70's, I didn't do any business at all via computer until 15 years ago. I do 0 business via cellphones, but they are making it harder and harder.
