Centralized social networking platforms
Actually the centralized network platforms are governed and governed by an entity can be an association but always with a leader the owner the platform is totally private and only the owner or the one who has the majority of shares is the one who makes the final decision if someone below him wants to implement any update or give any opinion only the majority owner will say if he agrees or not with that decision, in the centralized platforms we are obliged to follow a series of rules to stay within it if you violate any ceras blocked or banned through the sanctions that they give.
All the benefits that this collect for advertising and traffic will be only for the owners or for the owner of the platform in reality users who participate in centralized networks do not receive absolutely nothing however there are methods to make money with them but the work is very complicated you must have thousands or millions of followers and the remuneration is nothing compared to decentralized platforms.
In terms of security these platforms usually block content you want to protect minors or sensitive people of this content may be for adults, as for private keys the platform has in its possession all the private keys of all its users and can access them whenever they want.
An advantage of them is that if you forget your password you can ask through some secret questions, phone number, or email to restore your passwords, some companies sell your personal information to third parties may be industries that are taking surveys or simply to organizations that seek to see human behavior in recent years.

An example of a centralized social network facebook
As a centralized platform we see how for example facebook this company was created in the United States in 2004 by a group of students including Zuckerberg this platform was only for college students but with so much popularity why not expand to other universities was spreading reached every and many universities in the United States reaching more than 1million users then came the updates and went public this platform helps people to meet again as it is very easy to find friends you have years without knowing them as it is very popular worldwide.
You can upload short, long, photos, videos, but has limitations on content as it has powerful algorithms that detect keywords such as war, terrorism, racism, etc. and these are blocked without the right to speak and also the account can be suspended depending on the severity of the offense.

Decentralized social network platforms
These platforms work under the blockchain network which through interconnected nodes create that chain of information which is transmitted from one block to another adding information but without returning to the previous block this allows to maintain a higher security because there is no single server but there is a network that works with the community, we must be clear that decentralized social networks do not have an owner or a single boss if not working with the community directly without intermediaries.
Security we have to be clear that security is very important for the platforms so the private keys are given only once directly to the user these must be stored in safe places because if they are lost there is no way to recover them.
Content security: in these platforms we can write whatever we want no matter what content is spoken each one is responsible for what he does write or search in the decentralized sites there are communities that are governed under the rules of that community to stay in it only accepts content for which this community is cast I note that in these communities no one can suspend, ban, or block content from another account so you must be you who choose what you want to post and for what audience goes.
All remunerations are distributed with the community depending on their work done, the content created and their interaction with the ecosystem, the more you interact the more you earn.

An example of a decentralized social network
Gentlemen Steemit is a decentralized social network that works with the blockchain that allows the user to interact with many people around the world by creating content this platform provides the ability to create quality content free of copyright and can be curated to receive payment after a time stipulated by the platform in this case are 7 days also there are communities within the steemit platform that help new members to start on the platform with a small introductory course. from what I have seen we have to know many things that steemit is creating today at least I want to create an animal shelter to rescue all the stray dogs and cats provide good food and good health care I know that with steemit I will achieve it in the not too distant future. I also want to teach more people that is steemit when the pandemic will end create and make live lectures explaining what is steemit for more people vallan adding and thus grow more and more.

What is the future of social networks? Decentralized or centralized social networks
In the not too distant future all private platforms will have to adopt or migrate to decentralization, more and more people know about decentralized digital platforms. I say that more than marketing we need to educate people who are used to stay large amounts of time in a social network where they do not get any benefit, and benefit the one behind the centralized platform,
Decentralized network platforms in my opinion will be a breakthrough for the future and all of us who are here starting and supporting projects like these are the ones who will be in very favorable positions in the future I say this because the SP is the voting force is growing as we move forward in this one thing I really like is that steemit supports all content creators listen to us and make us part of this great digital ecosystem I thank you.

Characteristics of decentralized social networks
We take into account that decentralized social networks give us freedom to write and create content without fear of being blocked or banned.
You generate money by creating quality content in the right communities for this purpose.
You can be a content creator and curator at the same time depending on your SP which is quite important for the ecosystem if you have a high SP you can give high curation votes.
As for the security it is very high remember that it works on the blockchain network remember to keep well the private keys.
It is one of the best centralized platforms because it allows you to create content freely and it generates profits.

Steemit has changed the lives of millions of people by allowing the creation of educational and innovative didactic content so that many people have access to information and can vote for it, both the curator and the creator of content earns by this way people to learn and educate also earn some extra money that we can use it for what I said before food and medicine some personal items and as you grow you generate a little extra money so you can support not only yourself but also your family and friends in this way steemit expands its help not only for the one who is creating content but also for those who live around him.
