Abstract

The use of social media applications is increasing day in and day out, the most common issue with this is data privacy and security for the users. The current Centralised social media apps commodify users personal information for numerous uses, such as targeting add’s, etc. Hence there arises a need for a Decentralised Social Media app which will be designed by keeping the User as the central entity. Blockchain technology is the most reliable solution now for this purpose. We aim to create a Decentralized Social Media App which will allow the user to have full control over their data, and ensure high security for their personal information. It will also provide its users free will to express themselves, without any central authority controlling their actions.

Keywords
