RE: The "Sinster" Aspect Of Data Gathering Companies

in #technology7 years ago

Taskmaster. Your post opened up a few new worries to me. It is only a matter of time before Amazon issues its own alternative currency, and they, as well as Facebook and Twitter will be using Blockchain technology in a centralized way, unless we can eradicate their new "coins." That means huge swaths of the population will completely lose privacy and have no recourse when errors are made. Right now when Amazon or I make a mistake I usually eat it before trying to deal with customer no-service. What happens when they erroneously credit my book to my wife and very witty blog about dachshunds to me? I dont know what would be worse Amazon perpetually showing me books about Dachshunds or my wife getting in trouble with the IRS because she cashed an amazon check.
