Privacy

Privacy is an increasingly important and mistreated asset in today's digital world. With the likes of search data, purchase histories and many more information profiling (or gathering)  systems are eroding very important and supposedly privacy that we imagine we have. This is certainly not the case as it is clear with very little research that there is significant shift in privacy. We pay for many free systems on the Internet with our very privacy that we have guarded for many years. It is very simple to find sex, birth date, address, friends etc. and this is enough information to track down a person, especially if search results are indexed and maintained. 

This situation exists today and will grow significantly as more and more 'mash up' sites are created and gather more information from us with less security or badly programmed authentication systems. 

maidsafe's perpetual data (pd) product presents a shift in this paradigm and allows people to access information freely and without tracking. In pd data is, well, just data. There is no access wall to data such as web servers, web browsers or traditional data access mechanisms that exist today. The data in maidsafe is 'on your local disk' or appears as 'physical data' on your hard drive on your computer or any computer you happen to log into and use. In pd 

Pure data (pd) is a goal of maidsafe and unfettered access is paramount. The ability to simply open a file of interest or look at a photo or video of interest without divulging ANY information about yourself is key to the growth in data sharing and knowledge transfer. 

This may not be seen as incredibly important today by the majority of people but it is appearing on the horizon as something perhaps to be aware of and will no doubt become one area of modern life we want to reclaim.

for uk readers, interesting take on privacy. It's time for a new way, a network where privacy is primary ! It's time for perpetual data, it really is. http://ping.fm/HVXF4
