"I really like this way of circumventing problems with privacy in social media. Rather than building your own new social media service, it makes much more sense to inject your own privacy features into anything and everything."<p>I really dislike this methodology. The complexity and friction it introduces excludes the vast majority of people who don't yet, and maybe never will, realise how they would benefit from it.<p>We need a distributed social network, which can't be taken down, censored or monitored by any organisation or government, which utilises public key crypto for privacy, and which is at least as easy to use as Facebook. An immensely difficult project to tackle, but one that would change the World.
