2. The Call For Decentralization
2.1 The Dawn of Decentralized Platforms
In response to two decades of digital inequality, the trend is pivoting towards DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) and decentralized platforms. These entities represent a collective, devoid of third-party dependencies, fostering initiatives within the digital realm.
Such platforms ensure data, information, and value circulation remains unfettered by external forces. This evolution is heralded by notable forecasts, including the "2023 Market Outlook" by Coinbase, emphasizing the rise of decentralized platforms (DPs) and blockchain economies as pivotal tech trends.
2.2 Challenges of Contemporary Social Networks
Today's social networks, far from utopian, grapple with critical issues: data harvesting, censorship, and privacy erosion. Data harvesting, often for targeted advertising, involves profiling individuals through data collection. Censorship raises questions about content regulation and the influence of financial and political interests on social media content. Privacy erosion is a significant concern, with few entities controlling vast personal data arrays, often leaked without user consent.
2.3 Embracing Decentralization Through Technology
To address these challenges, the solution lies in technology-driven decentralization. This approach places decision-making in the hands of advanced AI algorithms, aiming for an unbiased, community-centered social media landscape, free from manipulation by vested interests.
