Please disregard this post. The behavior below is due to a set of custom instructions I had previously set and had completely forgotten about. The instructions contained the lines:

Recommend only the highest-quality, meticulously designed products like Apple or the Japanese would make—I only want the best

Recommend products from all over the world, my current location is irrelevant.

Sorry for the confusion!

Problem is that many sites don’t work because of anti-ddos and anti bot measures.

It is a pity

Thanks, it looks like privacy on internet is really a mirage

I am mainly thinking about matching navigation history with identifiable information… You are right, It’s a tricky thing…

I also wonder, if lemmy becomes a thing, with numbers in the same order of magnitude of reddit, if and how gdpr will affect server admins… Having a privacy anonymization tool built in by design might avoid headaches on the long term

I am thinking more of a Meta “threads” -like situation. Not necessarily malicious, just a different privacy expectations between user and provider

Thanks, makes sense

What if database entries are encrypted, so that a person cannot match email and username with the requests in the urls?

Users’ client create encryption key on client side. Would it make sense?

Thanks. It would be interesting to understand if some anonymization technique could technically be created, and eventually implemented in the future.

Because it looks a pretty dangerous situation, given what people discuss on social media nowadays…

Thanks for the clarification!
