  1. DeMedia: Decentralization of Social Media

    Abstract:

    • Social media networks, while central to modern life, raise serious privacy concerns due to centralized control and user data tracking. Despite the emergence of decentralized alternatives, none have matched the popularity of centralized platforms. To address this, our research proposes a decentralized social network architecture ensuring user data privacy and security. The proposed architecture promises true ownership of user data and decentralized data integrity and caching, offering a viable alternative to centralized social media platforms.
