The Future of Decentralized Social Media

Decentralized social media is a rapidly growing area in web3, as developers look to disrupt current social media tech giants. And for good reason – large social media corporations possess full control of their platforms, which has caused a litany of social ills regarding privacy, user control, data ownership, and censorship. For instance, Facebook breached data protection laws by allowing Cambridge Analytica to harvest the data of up to 87 million people without their consent worldwide. The next generation of decentralized social apps will address the drawbacks of web2 social media and set the stage for a brighter web3 future.
