What hashing is, how it can protect your privacy and contact information in social media apps.
CatherineFitzpatrick's insight:
A good explanation of hashing personal data on social networks or any network for that matter for privacy BUT doesn't explain why so many companies don't do this. And the answer is: because it takes time to do and because it adds latency to the servers. Delete the scoop?
