Hi, let's talk about something that came to my mind a few days ago. I was endlessly scrooping on Instagram like the brain dead person i am and saw videos of pretty young people making some Roblox video. Obviously i didn't think of the video as a masterpiece but i don't think i was the public intended to see this.
Never the less it made me think of hive, on Instagram you post a cringy thing and realise a few years later well it's no problem just delete it and hope no one screenshotted/saved it but most of the time simply deleting your cringe post is enough to delete it from the internet.
On hive it's a different matter, you can delete the post but on the block explorer you can still see the previous version of the post, i mean it's not super bad because only the text is stored in the the chain img/video are stored by third parties so you could just ask them to delete the media pieces and the cringe is erased.
Now let's imagine that instead of a cringy post, the young person that had an access to hive and didn't understand completely how it works (you can basically 1 click sign-up on almost any d'App and not have to understand much about what hive is).
The young person start posting random things and accidentally leaks his hive keys, i mean it's bad because he is going to loose some fund but it's okay, but if he leaks something else like his email + passwords, phone number, address what so ever it would expose him to permanent doxing.
Is this risk reserved to kids ? No, adults can miss-click too but they are more likely to know how hive work and modify the post and to double/triple check the whole post before publishing. In theory an adult is supposed to be calm and not panic in these situation were the kid could get a bit crazy no ?
On another hand this does apply to old persons too.
There is no lesson teacher in this post, i'm only opening the subject to have your opinion.
FYI, i created my first hive account pretty young and had no idea how it work and i am pretty happy no incident happened during that time except maybe some spam posts or so .-.
