100 million on Quora can now be identified and linked to direct messages. Privacy best practices on Blind to prevent having identities being exposed in the future?
Sign up in a way that can’t be attributed back to you. I.e. don’t use your real work address. (You have to figure out how to do this on your own).
Does blind store email?
No
Anybody know what security firm they hired?
I wanna see names with all sort of weird questions people asked , did someone make a website for that yet lol
If Blind is telling the truth, there is no link between your username and your identity in their data. They actually have no way of enforcing a ban because you can just continually re-create an account with the same email. I would just make sure you can’t be identified based on all of the things you’ve said in your account.
They may just hash the email id and store it and not the clear text form. Moreover they may just store that hashed one without linking to your user ID.
