I just re-read the terms of an app I use every day. It took almost 10 minutes to uncover the part where they have the right to share my data with third parties without prior notice 😤
That's also when I clearly see how Web2 operates: to use the service, you almost have to accept sharing data with the platform and trust that they won't go too far.
In my view, Midnight is trying to go in a different direction. Instead of keeping all data on one company's server, they aim for a model where users have clearer control over what information is disclosed, to whom, and in what context. What needs to be proven can be proven, while sensitive information does not necessarily have to be exposed.
In theory, this is a significant step forward. But like every other beautiful thesis, the real test is still the real app and real usage.
