What privacy leak? You boost your post it shows in details?
You in #1532229:
your gql scripts can answer your initial question
The initial question was this, afaict:
Who's downzapping everyone?
So I thought you were saying that we can see who is downzapping.
Yes, but you need one more heuristic. Which you can get off top->stackers. There is a privacy leak but it is only for the top spender. The fix is to not display lists of how much anyone zapped / earned / etcetera (or naturally if the top spenders are all in anon mode)
There is a privacy leak but it is only for the top spender.
Sounds like the one who needs privacy the most.
Honestly surprised you, of all stackers on here, are trying to justify a privacy leak, and even pretended there isn't one in #1532595 with "what privacy leak?" afaict.
To be clear, I don't really care about the privacy leak, just about the integrity of stackers.
I'm not justifying anything? I'm saying that the entire setup of tracking who spends and receives how much is transparent. Was the intent for SN to have zaps to be fully private?
I think he's saying that
(1) If you assume that whoever's downzapping is also the one mass boosting their own items
(2) Then you can infer the downzapper by looking at the most widely boosted items (since a person can only boost their own posts)
I don't know if this would be considered a privacy breach? It relies on an untested assumption (1), and public information (2). And it's all pseudonymous anyway.
What about privacy? Shouldn't such a privacy leak be fixed? Are @k00b and @sox aware of this?
