If you think this is US-only, it's not.

If you think the GDPR protects you, it's doesn't.

If you hadn't realised privacy is a national security and corporate espionage issue, it is.

If you think politicians can't tackle this, they can.

If you believe that tech or business need this, they don't.

Either real-time bidding data or app SDK data is being bought and used by ICE to seize people from the streets. If you didn’t believe that the adtech stack is a human rights concern, I’m not sure what more evidence you need. www.404media.co/ice-to-buy-t...

A pleasure to work with @yiannisbot.bsky.social, @dtrautwein.eu, and the @probelab.io team to enable analysis of unique blockchain and decentralised network data.

Baselight @baselightdb.bsky.social · Mar 12

You’ve never seen blockchain data like this before, literally!

For the first time ever, Baselight & @probelab.io are making onchain infrastructure insights public, so builders can monitor, analyze, and scale decentralized systems.

Query @ethereum.bsky.social , @filecoin.io, Polkadot and more!

It may come as a surprise, but most @ethereum.bsky.social nodes are not on the big 3 cloud providers. Only 1003/8825 nodes are on AWS, 83/8825 on GCP, 50/8825 on Azure.

You can read about it in our weekly reports on @probelab.io
