Trust? Everything about us is not just on the internet, but it is on a blockchain. The data is never getting erased, no matter what. For example, if someone like me posts something incorrect in his science post, even if it is a small spelling mistake or an important equation, if it is wrong, we have seven days to verify and correct it. Else it will never happen.

We do trust each other, as a community. Because this platform kind of works like democracy... We vote on who should get more steem power.

I am just as conscious as I am on facebook. But I do trust steemit, because everyone has little to hide here. You can see who posted what and when all the time. So people already act as good as they can. They don't hesitate putting their good side, their passion, their caring, in front of the world, so they do it here. Because facebook makes hell lot of money out of it, and there we feel like all the time we spent with friends and family and people on facebook, can be sold for ads...

If you are looking for privacy though, you should go else where, lol.
