Description
A recent report has revealed that Google harvests 39 types of private data on its users, which includes users’ specific location, their browser history and the emails on their Gmail accounts. Google is constantly invading our personal space thanks to the many formats at its disposal, including: Search, Chrome, Gmail, Youtube, Maps, Workspace, and Android. As Google's oppressive dominance continues to grow, more and more email users are ready to embrace new decentralization tools that are providing private solutions. Skiff is fusing the mail interface that consumers use everyday with Web3 open source technology, to provide a privacy-first, end-to -end encrypted, wallet native workspace. Users will be able to send messages, write notes and share files all while completely owning their own data. Utilizing IPFS, Skiff users will also have the option to store their content, including all Skiff Drive files, fully decentralized and end-to-end encrypted. In light of this, Andrew Milch, CEO and Co-Founder of Skiff, joins me in a conversation about how new technologies can help individual de-couple privacy concerns from a reliance on big tech companies. We also discuss the need to embed privacy into the platforms we use in order to protect against the non-consensual usage of sensitive data by third parties. Finally, we explore the advantages for users of switching from other cloud storage providers to a totally private storage platform that is entirely censorship-resistant and decentralized.
