I'm really curious to see how facebook is going to spin their recent scandal. There have been some really good projects popping up that emphasize data sovereignty of personal data.
My recent favorite is Algebraix. Permission-based advertising platform where you get paid to watch ads and disclose info relevant to advertisers, all the while keeping your personal data private.
https://algebraix.io/I really think it's time we end data exploitation. I'm very excited for projects like algebraix and the implications they have for privacy/micro-rewards for the future. Thoughts?
I don't see any project replacing Facebook in the near future of 2-3 years, more likely after. Facebook is a giant organization, it won't be so easy to shut it down or even take 50% users that fast.
I agree that we need to stop sharing our personal data with someone with don't even know, and don't get even a decent payment for this.
There are a good number of projects who are making crowd sale at the moment with the same purpose to move over Facebook and data selling to 3rd persons.
Many will sadly fail, due to startups statistics, strong will survive and who knows maybe one day we will be getting paid for making likes & reposts as well as decide with whom to share our personal data and be rewarded for that.
