Today, internet applications are becoming increasingly greedy—repeatedly requesting permissions, tracking behaviors, and collecting privacy data. Where is the problem? In principle, users have "agreed," but in reality, there is no real choice.

Opening those lengthy user agreements, the dense clauses pile up into a "trust wall." Most people never read them, let alone truly understand where their data flows. The essence of this model is simple: users trade privacy for convenience, but the cost of convenience is often severely underestimated.

Your location data, browsing history, social relationship graphs—all become tradable assets—just that you can't control the counterparties or the pricing of these transactions. Passive acceptance has become the norm, and the initiative is entirely out of the users' hands.

This is also why more and more people are beginning to focus on privacy protection solutions. True trust should not be based on "I have no choice," but built on the foundation that users have full autonomy. From permission management to data ownership, Web3's exploration is redefining the relationship between people and applications.
