Show HN: Contextual Privacy: Can something be private yet discoverable?

2 pointsby serafettin9 months ago
Hey everyone,<p>Over the past few months, we’ve been exploring a new way to think about online privacy and social interactions. The concept we’re calling &quot;contextual privacy&quot; moves beyond the typical public vs. private divide. In real life, privacy is more nuanced—think of a coffee shop or a conference where conversations are private but you can still overhear interesting snippets. We’ve applied this idea online, giving users more control over when they’re discoverable.<p>Here is the demo video: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;x.com&#x2F;indexnetwork_&#x2F;status&#x2F;1828847341001924833" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;x.com&#x2F;indexnetwork_&#x2F;status&#x2F;1828847341001924833</a><p>And our short article about it: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.index.network&#x2F;can-something-be-private-yet-discoverable" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.index.network&#x2F;can-something-be-private-yet-disc...</a><p>Curious about your thoughts.

I don&#x27;t understand what this is, to be honest.<p>&gt; Each message and interaction becomes a privacy setting, enabling constant negotiation and adjustment of privacy boundaries.<p>How? What does this really mean, in concrete terms?<p>I have more thoughts, but since I&#x27;m not understanding the proposal, they may not be relevant.
