As technology continues to evolve, there are increasing opportunities to improve business operations meaningfully. Imagine a world without music streaming, binge-watching series, or our smart devices; that isn’t a world many of us would choose to live in.
But Hey! This dependency and ease with technology create a constant erosion of our privacy—and sometimes we’re not even aware of a possibly dreadful trade-off!! It’s a smaller world and technology might turn invasive, which has, in turn, forced people to rethink the distinction between private and public data.
To address this, businesses should be more transparent about their data handling procedures and privacy policies, and incorporate solutions and tools to leverage consumer data while giving them better control over their data.
The current age offers us an opportunity to make radical changes instead of incremental changes over what we already have. The need for companies to disclose or seek permission from users for using the data can be easily replaced by deploying the apps on blockchain where in the users can decide whether they want to share or use their data. Various blockchain platforms have evolved and they continue to offer users a chance to bypass the central entities. A case in point is the evolution of Blockstack platform as an ecosystem. Dapps built on blockstack allow users to own their data and offer complete privacy. The apps on Blockstack platform subscribe to Cannt Be Evil values espoused by blockstack. Some of the interesting decentralized apps that are found as a ready replacement of their central apps are chronicled as under.
