I'm really curious to see how facebook is going to spin their recent scandal. There have been some really good projects popping up that emphasize data sovereignty of personal data.

My recent favorite is Algebraix. Permission-based advertising platform where you get paid to watch ads and disclose info relevant to advertisers, all the while keeping your personal data private. https://algebraix.io/

I really think it's time we end data exploitation. I'm very excited for projects like algebraix and the implications they have for privacy/micro-rewards for the future. Thoughts?

I think you got it wrong, there's no correlation between the recent scandal about Algebraix and Facebook and Blockchain. But regarding the scandal, yes its a big thing because Facebook has been telling us that they are really protection our privacy. But when the scandal broke, everyone is really questioning their capacity to provide us data security. Maybe there's where blockchain can enter, specially private ledger, its gonna be hard to compromise and even tampered with, this is one nature that every social media should take advantage of so that a data breach is more likely not gonna happen and we are going to be a happy customer.

What?!?! I think there's a huge correlation: data exploitation.

I looked into what algebraix is doing and they're preventing that while providing micro-rewards to consumers. While algebraix focuses on the advertising aspect, the data exploitation part is very relevant.
