Decentralized Communication: The Key to Protecting Digital Privacy
In today’s digital era, protecting privacy is crucial for preserving freedom, human dignity, and safety. However, the current state of the internet, known as web2, has deviated from its original decentralized vision. Instead, it has become dominated by giant corporations like Meta, Google, and Zoom, who use it as a data mine for their own profit-driven motives. This centralized control poses a significant threat to digital privacy, with governments even colluding in illegal mass surveillance.
Fortunately, emerging technologies like blockchain and cryptography provide us with powerful tools to address this issue. Decentralized real-time communication (dRTC) networks are an innovative solution that empowers users by enabling non-intermediated communications and data sharing. By challenging top-down legacy frameworks, dRTC networks offer a way to reclaim control over our digital privacy.
