We cannot deny the fact that privacy is our main concern when we share our data online. 
If you are having a chat with another person online, the only thing that concerns you is that nobody apart from that person should see your private talks. 

Many people have been ignorant regarding these matters and the companies, especially social media have been exploiting this ignorance. 
![facebook-3245862__480.jpg](https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/QmNyZUnsnvD36JyFEghg21n44J8wGcddPkUwmchZUE3QhM)

The social networking websites on one hand have bridged the gap between people by helping them interact with each other, thereby ensuring they remain in touch and at the same time they have helped the advertisers to promote their business and earn huge profits but on the other hand the privacy of our data has been at stake. 

They(Social networking websites) have tools or softwares which help them track our identities and at the same time get hold of our precious and secret data. 
They can use our accounts at will and use it as we are able to use our social media profiles. 
Imagine someone else using your Facebook/Twitter or Instagram account! 
I know that will freak you out. 
These social media companies have been doing the same since the start and Facebook is an example of that. 

![stock-photo-security-breach-cyber-attack-computer-crime-password-concept-432988318.jpg](https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/QmVHPexTBX2u5CnZFUEzeiSYBimeiLgQ7x9NvSjRW5ZU5w)

Not long ago a prominent political consulting company *Cambridge Analytica* found out that data has been collected from millions of Facebook accounts to see how this data will help their clients.
![facebook-3249888__480.jpg](https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/QmW5xs8dzTjja3X3iWcN458Z9GrcVLxgREQjpKMro9bfEL)

Let's look at some of the headlines facebook made since the start of this year:
- Mark Zuckerberg wants to devote this year in fixing facebook. 
I am not really sure why he said this but that is his job and he should be doing it regularly. 
- Messenger kids- Over 100 child advocates and medical experts urge facebook to halt Messenger Kids as it poses a threat to the health and development of the children. 
- Facebook's Pollster who quit after 6 months. 
- A fall in the total number of users using facebook, maybe for the first time. 
- Spam. 
- Sex stuff. 
- Adding features to messenger lite which made it heavy. 
- Finally the Cambridge Analytica. 

I am sure there must be more which I am not aware of. 

That is just the past three months, imagine what must have happened in the past 14 years of facebook. 

The #deleteFacebook campaign has been gaining popularity over the past few days and a lot of people have joined the campaign. 
Numerous accounts have been deleted and *Jeremy Deller* has distributed posters instructing how to delete Facebook as it is not easy to delete a facebook account. 

The founder of spaceX amd tesla *Elon Musk* also joined the the campaign and deleted his company's pages from facebook when a user on twitter challenged him. 

If you look at the statistics, facebook was not as popular as it is today and there were a little amount of people using facebook. 
It might have suffered losses during the early stages of its launch. 
It was in 2010 that facebook started to gain popularity among the people and eventually started making huge profits. 
There are more than 2 billion users on facebook as of now. 
Those 2 billion people value their privacy and eventually they will get out of facebook soon. 

The problem with facebook is that it is centralised, that is someone controls it and has access to all the information stored on facebook and its users. 

That is where decentralisation comes into play. 
We need a social network that is decentralised, that is nobody controls it and has no access to the personal information of the users. 

Numerous projects based on blockchain are there to ensure data security which include zencash and steemit of course. 
Zencash is a platform for secure messages and media. 
Steemit is a social media blogging platform where you can earn money for posting. 
 
In wake of the facebook scandal, people might have now understood that they are being cheated and probably might need a platform which will ensure the security of their data. 

Not many people know about the blockchain and its applications and I believe it is going to take more time and effort to educate people about the blockchain and its applications. 
As the concept of blockchain grows there will be more blockchain based social media platforms in near future and eventually we will see a world without Facebook.

i have a feeling that as blockchain media platforms grow the following will happen:
1. content publishing is free but viewership is'nt
2. viewership will  drive rewards and not necessarily upvotes
3. premium content will be driven by upvotes
4. the length of the block chain for a specific article will be directly proportional to the viewership value for premium content
5. the exact opposite will happen for non premium content as the content ages

all in all evolution is an exciting thing!

Decentralise is the way togo. It might take time but eventually people will opt-in for it or better still, i see Facebook adopting decentralized mechanism to save it ass in the nearest future.
