"People are not completely aware of the data that is collected and shared - that's why awareness is important in this area." -@P3b7_
"The word privacy means different things for different people. Some think it's to minimize sharing. It's about sharing or not being your choice. It's a consent." -@zooko
"When big organizations have your data - they make decisions for you with or without your consent." -@zooko
"In the case of @ZcashFoundation, it is widely used in Afghanistan, Russia and recently Canada. Usually it's people who are trying to exercise their political rights or getting an education. #Zcash therefore offers options for them to exercise their rights." -@zooko
"In Western countries, our governments also organize massive surveillance regimes - for me it's a little bit puzzling as well." -@P3b7_
"Financial freedom was separated from political rights in the United States - but both of these are tightly related. In China for example - governmental control over financial freedom hinders citizens' practice of their political rights." -@zooko
"Web2 has built an empire, and YOU and YOUR DATA are the product. Their incentive is to collect data on you. With Blockchain, we are able to reverse incentives. This means their goal is not to collect your data." -@P3b7_
"Incentives are key! Watching our society sliding into this position of having intimate knowledge of their people in the past 20 years - an attempt to have a Orwellian control over the society." -@zooko
"Pegasus is a software developed by NOS, which is to exploit iOS and Android to spy on people. It is very efficient - you import the phone number and then click on hack. All the account information is available and the phone's camera and mic will also be enabled." -@P3b7_
"#Zcash is a decentralized crypto currency which also has built in end-to-end encryption. The contents of the transaction will not be viewable by anyone else." -@zooko
"The difference of Web3 vs Web2 is ownership. Today, you are really able to OWN something - ie. having a private key and prove that you own your assets. Having the private key means you have extra responsibility as well. Ledger provides tools to secure private keys." -@P3b7_
"Blockchains also allow reversing incentives. For advertising, you get rewarded with money when you see an ad in @brave browser." -@P3b7_
"On the user side, blockchain is fully transparent. #Bitcoin for example, you can see every single transaction in its history. Pseudonymity stands between your identity and your public account." -@P3b7_
"The more our world is digitizing, the more intimate details of you will be digitized as well. If we continue down the path of surveillance, then it could be much more dangerous for everyone." -@zooko
"At Ledger, we don't make money off of user data. Your data is not our product. We don't want your data and we don't want to collect it. We want to provide users tools to use our products without TRUSTing Ledger." -@P3b7_
"This is already available. You now have the possibility to be FREE from Ledger." -@P3b7_
"The first step towards privacy is self-custody. Secondly, be aware and understand the incentives of the services you are interacting with." -@P3b7_
