I just read an interesting article in nytimes:

https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/03/06/business/economy/user-data-pay.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur&referer=http://m.facebook.com/

basically it states what the world could have been if google, facebook and other massive organizations would pay us for the data they harvest from our use of their services and being sold for advertisers.

new GDPR regulation starting in may obligate all data harvesting companies (mostly in EU countries) to get a consent from their users. this is a real revolution in the data world. until these no publisher paid any attention to the user. now the user most pay his consent in order for the organizations to use it. and also the user can own the information and remove it or sell it.

so after all of these my question is in regard to BTT is if the keep any information about us and if so will they ask for our consent after May?

thoughts?

there are a lot of companies keeping our data from fintech to commodities almost everything we do online is monitored.

that's why so many blockchains are so important as the keep us anonymous.

i think that if we think long ahead as mentioned on the article sharing the data could befit the users as well as the companies using it.

basically it's our data so we should be a part of the profit generated by it.

that's exactly my point - we should be able to profit out of this, after all we are the product.

i was just wondering regardless if the forum also has data saved on us and if they plan to comply with the GDPR regulation. there's also an option that they don't keep any records on the user. we dont provide much information when signing up here.
