Hi @libertyacademy,

How do you do?

Firstly, let me thank @crypto.piotr for sending me the memo and also for giving me a golden opportunity to Voice my opinion on this Voice platform.

a.) ".....including the key speakers CEO Brendan Blumer and Developer Dan Larimer – who also developed the Steemit blockchain)"....

Wow! It's great.....

b.) "..... idealized social media platform – void of bots and fake accounts/users - there are some very troubling aspects I have noticed and some dangerous red flags ....amidst all the hype and hoopla."

It seems like they are removing a little problem and inserting a much more bigger problem....!

c.) ".....may in fact be a trap into a much more sinister one from which there will be no escape."

This is, in fact great in regards to catching the criminals who involves in atrocious activities. At times, I was forced to think that centralized system is okay, the reason being it will help the law enforcement agencies to TRAP those wrongful persons with iron fists, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THEY MUST NOT USE THIS DATA AGAINST BILLIONS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE.

But unfortunately they won't stop with that and the ones who must help catch the criminals have themselves became CRIMINALS!

d.) "...... know by now that Google has engaged in some pretty nefarious activities over the years... "

&

e.) for Microfost, they have had their fair share of misdoings too.... known to include covert surveillance code into their operating systems, application software, and communication technologies which they have (like Google) readily shared with governments, intelligence agencies, and countless other third parties."

EVEN AFTER KNOWING THEIR MALPRACTICES, WE STILL CONTINUE TO USE THEM. IF WE START ABANDONING THESE BULLSHITTERS, THEN WE CAN TEACH THEM A LESSON. WE GOT STUCK WITH THEM AS IF WE GOT INTO A BLACK HOLE.

So staying in the hell willingly, what's the use of complaining against it?

f.) "What the heck do they mean by “donated”?"

It's just a simple give and take policy. They gave away some important data and in turn got that powerful alliance take over Web 2.0.
For a change, here an 'illegal donation.... aka.... transaction' took place!

g.) ".... Lots more red flags here folks.

While this – to be able to log in to one’s internet accounts without annoying passwords – may all sound quite convenient, the privacy implications are quite grave."

There will be. They have created an impression that these passwords are annoying and made us to compromise on our privacy settings. Very unfortunate!

h.) "Not everyone wants the world to know who they are, what they do, what they think, whom they interact with, what they use, what they buy, and so forth.*"

This will be HISTORY henceforth!

I.) "....everyone to be visibly IDENTIFYIABLE, TRACKABLE, and potentially SUBJECT TO SCRUTINITY, PUNISHMENT, and BEING REPORTED TO UNFORGIVING AUTHORITIES."

Then we need to stop going online. Screwing up the nuts... For the fear of physical thieves, we went off the streets and went online and now also the same situation. So has the time came for us to go OFFLINE and revert back to our older days?

Because here we will be able to see the thieves to whom we are losing our valuables, but in the online, we won't....! Tough times ahead.

PLEASE PARDON ME @libertyacademy FOR MY LENGTHY COMMENT.
