Decentralized Social Networks

Commenting on the matter was Justin Sun, founder of TRON and also CEO of BitTorrent. He said:

We are very excited to welcome Steemit into the TRON ecosystem. Together we will usher in a new era of decentralized social networking.

Steemit is a Reddit-like platform where cryptocurrencies could be distributed as likes and upvotes. This is something that could bring further adoption of blockchain-based technologies, especially after recent events.

Just yesterday, the Twitter account of the popular cryptocurrency commentator and Bitcoin permabull Anthony ‘Pomp’ Pompliano was temporarily unavailable.

Moreover, not a while ago, Cryptopotato reported that the world’s largest video content sharing platform, YouTube, penalized and even flat-out removed content related to cryptocurrencies. This had the community discussing on whether or not a decentralized alternative is needed. It also showcased the drawbacks of censorship and the fact that a single authority has control over network participants.
