Abstract

The Rise of Social media has become quite influential in our lives. This rise has led to a huge influx of user data from all these Social media websites and mining of this user data by corporations owning these platforms have become rampant. The issue of preserving privacy & security of data will remain as long as these platforms keep monopolizing the Social media. Social media is also being used to spread false information and rumors. Large-scale spreading of false information could pose severe social and economic damages. This paper aims to eliminate privacy & security concerns of current social media platforms with the help of a peer-to-peer block chain network as well as limit the propagation of false information in the network. By decentralizing the entire social media network with the help of block chain the aim to make the network truly owned and monetized by the user. A network by the user for the user.
