🚨 Today’s court matter involved allegations of fraud against consumer reporting agencies and violations of consent and privacy. 😱 This means that there are serious concerns about how personal information is being handled, potentially causing harm to individuals and.. ⤵️
violating their rights. 😡

Federal codes that come into play here are:
1️⃣ 15 U.S. Code § 1681n - Civil liability for willful noncompliance
2️⃣ 15 U.S. Code § 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports

It’s crucial to address these issues because everyone deserves to have⤵️

2/ I understand, appreciate, applaud and agree with Elon Musk's need for safety. Surely he understands our concerns on safety vs of mocking them. Remember his #BranchCovidians comment? I do. I worry about open carry, conceal carry, flooding USA with guns and ammo, etc. #Safety.
3/ Assassination Coordinates #MorningJoe #ThursdayNightMassacre raises #privacy issues. Don't we ALL have a right to privacy, not just Elon Musk? Where does that right to privacy end? In our home? Aren't we using computers in our home? If anything "outside" our home is fair game,

More details of the new paradigm for identity verification based on the @zkPass Protocol.

A thread🧵TL;DR Image
[1/9]
Roles Definition
Prover[P] is the party that has to prove his/her identity. (e.g. individuals)
Verifier[V] is the party that has to verify the identity of P. (e.g. businesses)
Server[S] is the trusted data source eligible to verify the identity of P. (e.g. passport issuer)
[2/9]
Traditional Process
P submits the personal data to V, and V checks it through a centralized database of S.

P→V→S
The biggest problem in this structure is that V knows everything, your ID number, physical address, nationality, etc. Your privacy is NOT under your control. Image

Game changer. Sienna lend and private #DeFi

Finally! we are getting a DeFi platform complete with lending on a network that is private by default #privacymatters so all of the fun stuff that us #Degens love to play with 👇
But without the invasive public surveilance that we have become desensitized to.
You can share what you wish but not be spied on without consent. This has big implications for you and for protocols. Bad actors are going to have a much harder time manipulating both.
Imagine a #degenbox type of strategy that you come up with, and only those you share with can use it, because it cant be spied? @sienna_network has a great AMM already, and they have already implimented stkd- $SCRT ( @Shade_Protocol's liquid $SCRT derivative) /SCRT LP.

The Criminal Procedure (Identification) Bill, 2022, prima facie, fails to satisfy the tests laid down by the Supreme Court in the landmark decision in K.S. Puttaswamy (2017).
#CriminalProcedureIdentificationBill2022 #LokSabha #surveillance #privacymatters
The collection and processing of sensitive personal data such as biometric & biological samples for the purposes of identification do not, satisfy the test of proportionality.
The absence of any opportunity of hearing for persons refusing to allow their measurements to be taken highlights the failure to meet the State’s aim for promoting justice, as provided under Article 39A of the Constitution.

Bitcoin is changing our relationship to money.
It's also changing our relationship with the court system. ⚖️

Many thanks to @BitcoinMagazine for publishing my article exploring Bitcoin's disintermediation of the civil justice system.

A summary thread:

bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/how-ci…
1/ How is #Bitcoin disintermediating the civil justice system? By limiting the effectiveness of *money judgments.*
2/ Civil justice systems remedy wrongs through money judgments. To satisfy money judgments, third-party intermediaries (banks or custodians) are served with “writs of garnishment” forcing turnover of the judgment-debtor’s assets to the judgment-creditor.

0/ Mega thread on why I think #privacy will be an increasingly important topic in the #crypto space and why I’m really bullish on some projects & their tech!🔒

$SCRT $MANTA $PHA $DUSK $XHV $MINA

Privacy (0/20) 🧵👇
1/ With blockchain & #crypto, a large part of the attraction of the technology is its promise of decentralization, fairness and transparency. However, with transparency comes a lack of privacy
2/ While transactions and messages on the blockchain can be pseudonymous, true privacy is much harder to achieve. Few people want their private details broadcast in a public (even though encrypted) way, whether it is their financial transactions or health records

Private #WhatsApp group links were exposed on #Google search results allowing anyone who finds the link to join the groups & access details of members. The issue was fixed back in 2019 but now has surfaced again.
indianexpress.com/article/techno…
#WhatsappPrivacy #privacy #privacyplease
The report by @rajaharia suggests that #WhatsApp groups that use links to allow users to enter, may once again be vulnerable to being found online, allowing anyone to join the group. The issue appears to have been resolved as of now.

#whatsappgroup
The issue is not just with group invite links, but also with individual user account profiles. #URLs of people’s profiles can now be searched on #Google.
