Your NDAs, contracts, and client files are sitting in a folder marked "anyone with the link."
Including the platform itself.
BLOK® — private by infrastructure.
Google. Microsoft. They hold the keys to your platform, not you. When their terms change or their services go down, your users' access changes with them. Most platforms don't own their identity layer. They rent it.
#DigitalOwnership#DecentralizedIdentity#web3#getontheBlok
@sundarpichai@GeminiApp Gemini can now create your Docs, Sheets, and Slides.
Who else can access them after? That's the part nobody announces.
You dont own your Privacy anymore.
X is having a whole debate on Claude Code vs Codex.
But nobody's asking about the project management tool, the cloud storage, the CRM, the communication app...
All reading your company's data. Right now.
Pick your AI. But maybe audit your stack first.
#ClaudeCode#Codex#Privacy
If any of these made you uncomfortable that's not a coincidence.
Privacy isn't a feature you add later.
It's the foundation you either built right or didn't.
BLOK is built right.
#Privacy#Web3#OriginalWeb#Security
Most dev teams think they have a privacy strategy.
They have a privacy policy.
Those are not the same thing.
Here are 4 questions that reveal the difference. 🧵
Question 4
Can a payment processor freeze your revenue without notice?
Stripe can. PayPal can. They have.
The rails you build on have terms.
Read them before you need to.
Stripe went 📉 in 2022. Millions in lost transactions.
GitHub went 📉 in 2023. Deployments froze globally.
Cloudflare went 📉 in 2024. A third of the internet blinked.
The infrastructure you rent has a maintenance window.
You just don't know when it is.
#Infrastructure#Web3Dev
AWS owns your infra.
Google owns your login.
GitHub owns your code.
Your users think their account belongs to them.
It belongs to whoever hosts the auth layer.
Decentralized identity fixes that. It's not idealism. It's architecture.
#DecentralizedIdentity#Web3Dev#OriginalWeb
DirectAI in your inbox. AI in your docs. AI in your workflows. Useful? Yes. Is it useful for you? No.
This is what it looks like when convenience is the product.
#GoogleCloudNext#Privacy#Security#Ownership
Last fall, we launched Gemini Enterprise as a front door to AI in the workplace, enabling every customer and employee to use cutting-edge AI agents.
Today at #GoogleCloudNext, we announced new features, including:
- A new inbox in Gemini Enterprise to manage, monitor and act on your agent activities
- Canvas, which lets you create and edit Google Docs and Slides without switching apps
- Reusable “skills” for faster automation

The infrastructure decision you made at v0.1 is the one you live with at v10.
The question was never "what's cheapest to start?"
It was always "what do I actually own?"
BLOK is built for founders who asked that question early.
#TechnicalFounder#Privacy#Web3Dev#Infrastructure
Most technical founders I know made one infrastructure decision they regret.
They didn't know they were making it at the time.
Here's what it was, and how to avoid it. 🧵
They routed payments through Stripe. Or PayPal. Or both.
Fast integration. Global reach.
But every transaction has an intermediary who can freeze, flag, or reverse it.
The rails you build on are not neutral.
They have terms. They have risk models. They have their own interests.
