The current representative democracy fails to provide direct participation of people in the decision-making process. Online voting/polling systems can encourage active participation and prove to be cost-efficient and accessible to both state and voters. However, traditional voting systems pose challenges such as time-consuming processes and physical presence requirements. Vote tampering also poses credibility issues, and the risk of getting hacked or submitting to an authority with administrator access to the system exists. The blockchain technology used in the Referendum Poll System distributes authoritative power and provides data confidentiality, integrity, and voter anonymity. The voters can read and pass judgement on every clause in a policy and approve or reject the policy as a whole or just the clauses. The “policy flaw detection feature” helps identify problematic clauses in policies, and real-time poll results add transparency. Overall, the Referendum Poll System provides an opportunity for direct and secure participation of the public in the decision- making process, and the blockchain technology used in the system addresses several challenges posed by traditional voting systems.","PeriodicalId":492228,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Blockchain Technologies and Applications","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135106707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The government is exploring the use of NFTs to commercialize content such as Japanese animations and games as Web3 businesses. NFT (Non-Fungible Token) means \"unique and non-substitutable data unit recorded in blockchain\". NFT indicates the owner of digital content by linking the NFT with digital content such as image or audio data. On the other hand, NFTs are constructed using complex technologies such as “blockchain” and “smart contracts”. For this reason, many people do not understand the technical mechanism of NFTs. There are also aspects of excessive expectations for NFTs based on misunderstandings. I think that the bubble caused by excessive expectations negatively affects the development of technology. Therefore, in this research, I investigated what kind of value people find after understanding the mechanism of NFTs. Also, based on the survey, I find the functions desired for NFTs. Specifically, I made a video for non-technical people to easy to understand how NFTs work. And I showed the non-technical people the video with a demonstration of NFT tampering. After showing the video to the viewers, I surveyed them to investigate how their understanding of NFTs and the perceived value of NFTs changed. As a result, people understood that NFTs were not used as keys to access contents, but rather as a way to brag about what the holders had.","PeriodicalId":492228,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Blockchain Technologies and Applications","volume":"147 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135107516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This legal essay provides an overview of the existing data subject rights in the UK and EU, with a focus on the right to erasure on blockchain and the right not to be subject to automated decision-making in respect of artificial intelligence. The paper examines the legal framework surrounding these rights as well as any potential challenges or limitations they may face in practice. The right to erasure on the blockchain is explained, including its benefits and drawbacks, and its interaction with data protection laws in the UK and EU. The right not to be subject to automated decision-making is also discussed, including the legal framework surrounding this right, as well as its relationship with artificial intelligence and data protection laws. The implementation of these rights is essential in safeguarding individuals' privacy and promoting trust in the use of technology. Although there may be barriers preventing individuals from fully exercising these rights, legal remedies such as increased awareness and transparency, as well as changes to the law and harsher consequences for noncompliance, can help to mitigate these obstacles.","PeriodicalId":492228,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Blockchain Technologies and Applications","volume":"158 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135107492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
