I only try to imagine the arguments of the opponents:
"Accumulating information about people is illegal
Hivedevs are doing illegal things
Let's make Hive illegal"
Any lawyer can do that! even if your intention are goods.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
The tool itself only looks up the information that is already stored publicly on the blockchain. Technically, these are all transactions that have already been accumulated on the produced blocks.
I'm no lawyer, but I know that all Blockchains did indeed trigger privacy concerns all over, which is still an ongoing thing (This is not specific to Hive.) And currently, it's widely accepted that whoever uses any Blockchain, already consented such transactions to be public, and can be publicly used.
So again, I understand your concern, and I appreciate your input. But that's something all the Blockchain tech have to look into, and deal with.
