I started to learn about crypto two months ago. Bitcoin, Monero, Ethereum etc. make total sense to me.
I can't, however, understand why it would make sense to decentralize large online platforms like Youtube and Facebook. Or let's say: I don't understand how this could work.
Bitcoin has a decentralized ledger where all transactions are stored. How would that ledger look for a decentralized Youtube or Facebook?
Or am I missing something? Does decentralization mean something different in this regard?
Thank you!
PS: I'm asking because I again and again read headlines that say something along the line of "everything will be decentralized".
to answer your question.
Facebook esp n youtube has special teams in place and special algorithms to censor information they dont like from public view.
Decentralized network would mean they cannot censor any information as everything is decentralized and in the public's hand.
Ofcourse I know many people in the world would kill to make sure decentralization alternatives of facebook n google dont manifest.
