I want to like and use @vexl 😎 but in many months I couldn't find a meaningful interaction. The only traders I find in my "friends of a friend" network have as common "friends" the mailbox and I cannot disqualify the mailbox as a "friend". Mailbox and other corporate numbers should be excluded from the graph.

Whitney Webb on fire!

I wouldn't mind a digital ID ... if that meant removing the papers I have to carry for border crossings or for driving my car. It always stroke me as weird that somebody would rather see a paper in my possession than to check some of his own databases. I would mind though to see more points that require ID - digital or not. I once went to a public park in Chile and was asked for my ID. Hard pass! Also: Credit cards are a digital ID. Don't use them lightly.

Globalization kills magic

Trying to figure out how @vexl 😎 works ... I had an ad open since a year or so and now somebody contacted me on it. Our "common friend" is the mailbox number. WTH? Might this and maybe other numbers be worthy of black-listing for the purpose of friend-of-a-friend estimates? Also, as a beginner I did not understand that this was the most important information I should have looked for given my ad was limited to "friends of friends". Maybe that "common friend" should be zero clicks away, not one?
