Because you have a decentralized identity in the $Projectname, your privacy extends beyond your home hub.

If you want to have complete control of your privacy and security you should run your own hub on a dedicated server. For many people, this is complicated and may stretch their technical abilities. So let's list a few precautions you can make to assure your privacy as much as possible. A decentralized identity has a lot of advantages and gives you al lot of interesting features, but you should be aware of the fact that your identity is known by other hubs in the $Projectname network. One of those advantages is that other channels can serve you customized content and allow you to see private things (such as private photos which others wish to share with you). Because of this those channels need to know who you are. But we understand that sometimes those other channels know more from you than you might desire. For instance the plug-in Visage that can tell a channel owner the last time you visit their profile. You can easily OPT-OUT of this low level and we think, harmless tracking. -* You can enable [Do Not Track (DNT)](http://donottrack.us/) in your web browser.

This does not imply that every member of the network feels the same way you do on contentious issues, and some people may be STRONGLY opposed to the content you post. In general, if you wish to post something that you know may nor be universally acceptable, the best approach is to restrict the audience using privacy controls to a small circle of friends. +$Projectname is a global network which is inclusive of all religions and cultures.

However, hub administrators MAY censor any content which appears on their hub to comply with local laws or even personal judgement. Their decision is final.

Please check (periodically) the [Terms of Service](help/TermsOfService) of your hub to learn about any rules or guidelines. If your content consists of material which is illegal or may cause issues, you are STRONGLY encouraged to host your own (become a hub administrator). You may still find that your content is blocked on some hubs, but the $Projectname as a network cannot block it from being posted. +$Projectname as a network provider is unable to censor content.

This will give the content owner an opportunity to export their channel meta-data and import it to another site. In rare cases the content may be of such a nature to justify the immediate termination of the account.

If you typically and regularly post content of an adult or offensive nature, you are STRONGLY encouraged to mark your account "NSFW" (Not Safe For Work). This will prevent the display of your profile photo in the directory except to viewers that have chosen to disable "safe mode". If your profile photo is found by directory administrators to be adult or offensive, the directory administrator MAY flag your profile photo as NSFW. There is currently no official mechanism to contest or reverse this decision, which is why you SHOULD mark your own account NSFW if it is likely to be inappropriate for general audiences. diff --git a/include/identity.php b/include/identity.php index 871d85700..89589802f 100644 --- a/include/identity.php +++ b/include/identity.php @@ -427,7 +427,7 @@ function create_identity($arr) { } } - call_hooks('register_account', $newuid); + call_hooks('create_identity', $newuid); proc_run('php','include/directory.php', $ret['channel']['channel_id']); } -- cgit v1.2.3
