RE: Preparing for the unexpected

in Silver Bloggers4 years ago

My mom in law decided to start an email account for our daughter when we told her that we were pregnant.

That is a great idea and I think your daughter will appreciate it once the time comes. I wish ,ore people would add this kind of content onto blockchains too, just to add an additional amount of protection for the words.

I don't include her in it much because I'm extremely protective of her online identity at this age, but it's something that will far outlast me, carved in the blockchain.

I wonder how protected the identity really is, if you consider that Facebook and Google record everything through a thousand different APIs. I suspect that while identity might be less visible on the surface, everything is still available - since most people save their images to google and their communication on centralized apps.

Thanks for the message Taraz. That is very true about the points on identity. There's a history to why I say this though that I am not going to relay here.

Have a great evening.

I completely understand - I am not against people protecting their kids' identity, it is just something interesting to consider these days. :)

I totally agree with you and it's almost impossible to get away from Google and the likes of Microsoft which collect everything. I had a bit of a revelation about this last night which I am probably going to write a "conspiracy theory" post on later today. I now have two laptops - my old one which is so slow it's like you can make and drink a cup of coffee while waiting for it to open a program lol and this one. I'm seriously considering just using my old one to store all my stuff because I never connect it to the internet anymore. I don't post anything on conventional social media anymore, infact FaceBook irritates me greatly these days. Perhaps I'm getting old hahaha. Have a good day Taraz. Cheers.
