# legitmicay and privacy * legitimacy techonlogy, block chain and cryptography have been developed in recent years. * An important part of legitimacy is transparency. * Legimitacy is policed by community * If the community cannot see what is happening they cannot police it. * I spent a few years trying to build things that were focused on privacy. Trying to maximise the privacy and decentralization. * THis seems like it was not what users were looking for. Becuase no one ever really used it. ## how can privacy and legitmatcy be enforced ? * social graphs can be used to attribute actions to people who are connected to you. * This means you can make a chain of responsibility * Collapseing all of the external actions of other people, into actions that one of your friends is responsible for. * If they do a bad thing you cna cut the connection with them and the graph will be more knoledgeable for it. ## Where else has legitimiacy and privacy gone hand in hand * zupass has legitimacy because it gets instatuional support * Frog crypgo gets legitmacy because there is only one place ot get the frogs.
