Solcial: New taste of Freedom

Thanks to information leaks, the topic of privacy, anonymity, censorship on the Internet is increasingly beginning to excite the general public. More and more people are thinking about the phenomenon of big data and who analyzes this data and for what purposes.

What about social networks, which are still the most popular platforms for communicating with old friends, and at the same time an invaluable collection of personal data about our preferences, interests, social circles, political views?
After all, privacy concerns are one of the main reasons why people delete their social media accounts. Users want to feel secure and they need assurance that no personal information is collected without their consent. The only problem is that modern social networks cannot meet these needs.
Recently, there has been a trend of people closing and deleting their Facebook accounts. Many take this as a sign of failure and predict that this is the beginning of the end of the social network as we know it.
Well, many users want to join social networks that respect their privacy. This is where decentralized networks come into play.

What are the advantages of decentralized networks we can see:
Confidentiality. There is no need for intermediaries, respectively, corporations will lose control over the network and user data.
Secure network. This will be possible due to the distributed nature and decentralization. It will be more difficult for hackers or others to penetrate the network. In addition, even if they are able to do this, the operation may be delayed and canceled on the network. Without centralization, it will be difficult for hackers to control platforms.
Data ownership. With WEB 3.0, users will have full ownership of the data. Data that is transmitted over the network will be fully encrypted. Users will decide for themselves what information they want to share or will be able to sell their data, earning on it.
Interaction. Thanks to the decentralized network, it will be easy to work on different devices and platforms.
No service interruption. Distributed systems are less prone to service interruption. Since there is no central node to function, then various forms of failures and denial of service will not have an impact.
No permission required. Since there is no central authority, anyone can join the network and participate in the creation of an address. Accordingly, there are opportunities for individuals who have been discriminated against on the basis of gender/income/place of residence, etc.
Ubiquity. We will be able to access information from any device that has basic internet functionality and connectivity.
Thus, all these factors will significantly reduce the risk of corruption, illegal activities or fraud, thus preventing the censorship of important information.

There are many attempts to create a decentralized social network at the moment. One of these is Solcial, a decentralized social network that will be built on the openness of information, the absence of censorship within reasonable limits, and fair remuneration. All personal data and content is stored on the computers of all network users. Network management is shared by multiple network nodes that share responsibilities equally and run the same software. The information stored in such a network cannot be replaced or corrected, because it is stored on many computers at once, and the performance of the system cannot be affected by any single person. We can be sure that we manage our data ourselves and decide whether to advertise it or not.
The rules for publishing content, its ranking, as well as the right to make a profit will belong to the community, and not to the conditional owner of the server, as is implemented in the usual social networks. The lack of a center also eliminates the technical possibility of deleting posts or accounts. Moderation is transferred to the hands of the community, however, even there the rules are recorded in the blockchain, which means that they cannot be interpreted by the moderator in two ways.

All interaction and all data on the network can be tokenized. This will allow:
mark content so as to assign it a unique attribute. This will allow you to deal with multiple copies of the same information, it will be easier to find the original source and save time in search of original content;
take advantage of new opportunities to earn money online. This applies both to the receipt of royalties by the authors of articles, videos, etc., and to rewarding users only for viewing and reading content.
In addition, there will also be a reward system. Each view, like, comment and other active actions are monetized and bring profit to the content creator. Buy/sell tokens that are linked to blogger profiles, and receive money from their growing popularity. Ads can also be run and will generate revenue for users. We can also make money on content.
In conclusion, Google, Microsoft, Facebook and other web giants that emerged in the Web 2.0 era are based on their own interests. They consider users only as a source of income. Pay for such an attitude, in the literal and figurative sense, the users themselves.

But the main idea of ​​Solcial can be called the absence of intermediaries. Users will get anonymity, forget about hacks and account blocking, and will receive full profit. However, Solcial is only at the beginning of its journey. It is still almost unknown to the audience of the traditional Internet. Therefore, all forces should now be directed to the popularization of this project.

Now it is difficult to say what new technologies, projects, economic sectors and services will be developed during the transition to Web 3.0. But it will definitely be interesting to watch.
