You literally said:

> I would also caution against the push for almost complete privacy as that IMO leaves out a number of potential advantages from systems having enormous amounts of data about us.

So I created an example. Forget my example if you wish, I still have the same question. What benefit is there specifically, from companies "having enormous amounts of data about us"?




But I also said:

"This is where I think the decentralized part becomes really valuable. How can we own our own data but exchange it with others and build trust over time just like we would in the real world."

So not sure why you are asking about about something that is only part of what I wrote when I elaborate further down.


> How can we own our own data but exchange it with others and build trust over time just like we would in the real world.

Well that's pretty simple. Don't use services that are paid for with your privacy.

> So not sure why you are asking about about something that is only part of what I wrote when I elaborate further down.

You claimed it's beneficial, I'm asking how.


And I am telling you I wrote some more so you have to read it in it's whole not just that part.
