| **A:** No, unless they somehow gained access to the PC itself. Obviously an ISP could track the files going in and out of the network and then make assumptions as to what might be stored. | **A:** No, unless they somehow gained access to the PC itself.

| + | |||
| + | **A:** If you block a user, then it will prevent your node from relaying (or storing) any data from that user. So there is some level of control. If you follow a user, you become a mirror for all of their data, which helps the network even more than a relay. | ||

| **Q:** Ok. Conclusion: If someone whants to see what data is relayed through your node, it can be seen with lot effort, but, it can. It is public data, with public decryption keys and whole data is chunked in small pieces with guide how to combine them to see full picture. Combining data is also available to everyone. All chunks go through one node? | **Q:** Ok. Conclusion: If someone whants to see what data is relayed through your node, it can be seen with lot effort, but, it can.

| The default value is a difficult decision, as if we default it to false (and don't have enough people opting in to enable it) then the reliability of QDN will really suffer. But if we default it to true then we risk upsetting community members that missed the discussion and didn't opt-out in time. | The default value is a difficult decision, as if we default it to false (and don't have enough people opting in to enable it) then the reliability of QDN will really suffer.
