Is your social media account yours?

[Mr. Allcrypto]

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

[philipma1957]

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On this website I can't lock an out of date thread that is one example of this websites control of my account.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

[Mr. Allcrypto]

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?

~snip~
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. 😅

Having a social media account, and have it managed by someone else, I see nothing in it as long as the person who manages the account doesn't go contrary to the social media rules of uploading porn videos or saying or doing anything not in line with what the real owner of the account asked him or her to do because behind the scenes, the person knows is the real owner of the account not the one that manages it. Because any that went wrong, who the public will hold responsible is the one who identify is known on social media not the one behind the keypad

For security reasons many people operate dummy account in social media. Having a legit account in social media has its pros and cons. In these days, by operating a legit account one can gain many benefits and it can also be a source of income for many people.

[bitterguy28]

your point is valid so to answer your question on that matter?

Our social media Details is ours because we are the one who owned that .

But about the account itself? nope this is owned by the apps owner because we cannot
keep this if they wanted to hack or lock our accounts.

Yeah this is for me very simple, easy to understand and accurate explaination and sample by the way. Partial control what describes our control with our accounts in any platforms especially social media. It could also be in an online games, gambling platforms, streaming sites and any other since we are still compliant to the platforms TOS if not we can be banned.

I think social media and apartments are two different things and the example may be different. You can own an apartment through a validity agreement. The location of your apartment may be of a certain category. But yes this apartment has useful writing for all your subjects. But social media is a completely different thing as you can use it by a certain line. Moreover your social account can be closed at any time. You don't need a separate permission to close your account because you don't own it because you're just a user not owner.

Is your social media account yours?

I am very interested in the issue of owning an account on a social network. Should the account belong to the person who registered it or is it the property of the company that owns the platform? Let's think it over.

Some people, for example, invest in design, promotion and content creation for their account. If we assume that the account does not belong to a person, then it turns out that his investments are very doubtful. If we assume that a person's account is his property, then we need a mechanism to hold them accountable for displaying prohibited content.

Let's try to compare a social media account and a house (an ordinary house, or an apartment that you own). If you posted on your house a call to violence in letters that are visible from many meters away, the police would come (after the complaint) to you. Home is yours, no one questions it. But you will be asked to withdraw the call. In this case, you are sure that your house will not be demolished, even if you refuse to withdraw the call. Other sanctions will follow, but your house will remain standing even if you go to jail for a ride to resist the police.

What do you think of it?

I have always asked myself this question, it is said that our social media accounts are private and they belong to us but the truth is that it actually belongs to the designers or developers. Most people are not ready to accept the fact that whatever they send or receive from anyone is actually been monitored by a third party. This is why you can't send some messages using some particular words on few social media apps because your texts are constantly scrutinized, what an uncomfortable truth

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Well I think this subject matter may actually dwell on how much right an individual possess when it has to do with their own properties, I'm speaking in respect of the house instance you sighted. In my opinion,  I think everyone has the right to own a house, and also the right to do whatever you please with the house or apartment you own, as long as your activities in that house doesn't affect the next person or cause a direct harm to you, or even break the law, the house you own is on the state's territory and jurisdiction,  and the state has ground rules that maintains peace and order within that jurisdiction,  and even though the house is yours and you bought it with your own money, you still gotta abode by the rules of the state and breaking those rules might attract penalties.

some people view ownership as having all control over your own property and no one else having access to it

some people do not like the concept that the government or any authorities can cease your property if they just find the correct grounds for it tho of course this will be difficult for them to do if we follow all regulations and laws

Of course no one likes the idea of sharing control over the property you acquired with your own money, but we cannot deny the fact that land or property we acquire is on government or state soil and every government is saddled with the responsibility of maintaining peace and order within their jurisdiction however they deem fit, without the interference of other countries. So even with the property you acquired with your own money, you still don't have 100% control and ownership over it because you'll still need to abide by the laws of the state.
It's just like having a house and conducting illegal activities in that house, like illegal and illicit drug storage and trafficking, I believe almost all the countries of the world frowns against illicit drug trafficking, you may have paid for the property in full and claimed ownership of it, but if the state discovers or learns about your illegal activities,  they're reserved with the power to confiscate that property and handle the situation according to the rules and laws of the land. And I pretty much believe that this is also very much applicable to owning a social media account too.
