First Post - of hopefully many more
Hello Guys,
my name is Eric - obviously. I live in Germany and i'm currently working on my masters thesis which describes how blockchain-technologies cope with the GDPR. That's why I found out about Steemit and now I'm excited to be here!
This post is just to understand how the posting and all the other stuff on here is working - i hope i don't do any mistakes. If so - please let me know and i will change whatever is required.
In my master thesis i speak about the correlation between the data subject and the data controller in general and in the bitcoin blockchain. In my opinion it makes no sense to create some sort of controllership of nodes or other users when one user is doing a transaction without any third parties. The GDPR should contain some type of data sovereignty - what i mean by that is, that in cases where the data subject injects his own data on his own will into a public blockchain - he should be the one responsible for it.
Many of data privacy lawyers think that public blockchains in general can't cope with the GDPR. I think under the aspect of data sovereignty that there is no such thing as a third party data controller and with that there's nobody to claim.
So yes - in very easy words - that the type of stuff i deal with on a daily basis right now.
Again- so excited to be here!
