Is your social media account yours?

[Mr. Allcrypto]

Yes it is mine l, and I have been operating with it ...

Yeah my password and name is mine, but I do not fully control it. I AM SUBJECT TO WEBSITE RESTRICTIONS. I can no longer say use a mixer on bitcointalk.org.  The website bans it.

That is one example of what they do to my account.

On this website I can't lock an out of date thread that is one example of this websites control of my account.

the lists are longer but they show I have partial control not full control of philipma1957 at both altcoinstalks.com and bitcointalk.org

Hmm, not actually I may own it now but with time it won't be my again, that is in the case of my death, that is because am the only one that have access to it unless may be I disclose it to my kids or love ones when I was alive then they can be able to access it and gain or learn from it also to be able to have full control of everything pertaining to it when am not more. So it's sometimes good to share some of your secrets with your child expecially if he or she is next of your kin. But also be extra ordinary careful because now are days some children are so awesome that they will do something that even you the parents will never expect such from them. So my social media is my now but with time it won't be my again.

I don't think we are to consider this factor, because when creating any social media accounts, there are some terms and conditions which you as the user will accept, and by accepting that, the account belongs to you and you will have full control over it, except you shear your logins to someone.

Owning an account. Is it like the decentralization that you want to do? I'm getting that vibe. It's really yours unlike the ones in the current social media thing that it's yours but you are not the owner of the things there.

I saw some projects that are building social media now in the cryptocurrency space. I'm not completely sure how it works but I have read it.

Are those kinds of projects you are talking about?

What do you think of it?

I could say i own it but the platform has full control of it like if they want to ban it then they could do it.

Something like a custodial wallet where i have the address but have no control of the company, that's how i view my social media account.

I wonder if someone has to make a decentralized social networking site or is there an existing one? Just like how we did it with our cryptocurrency wallets with private keys. 😅
