Project Locker: the removal of data from social networks
Many people think, what is the future of social networks and what will appear after Facebook? One option is to create an open global social network, where users will control their data themselves, and your personal profile and all other information will be stored on your personal computer, and not on a remote server. In such an ideology, control over information becomes the cornerstone, it is so important that it makes sense to consider information as an online currency . Publications in the social network - a commercial transaction where the owners of the service earn money from your content. Browser - your personal wallet. You yourself are part of a market economy, constantly making transactions.
Today, the financial infrastructure of social networks is a one-way traffic. Users only give money (data), and the profits are received by the owners of the service. They perform the role of banks that are superior to users in terms of financial management and therefore accumulate finances in their private vaults. Do we have a chance to change the situation and take control of the information to create the basis for an open global social network?
One of the futuristic projects that can lay the foundation for the social infrastructure of the future is the Locker project. The idea is to remove data from various social networks and store them in your home, which makes it possible to run applications locally and create a new generation of open web services. A personal locker stores any kind of data for which the user has given permission: tweets, photos, videos, checks, information from various sensors that are available on the user's personal network (GPS, heart monitor, etc.).
It is proposed to search and exchange data in the global social network through the new open P2P protocol Telehash (JSON + UDP + DHT = Freedom).

The founder of the project is Jeremy Miller (Jeremie Miller), known as the author of the Jabber / XMPP protocol. Support is provided by his startup of three people, Singly . The Telehash protocol is also its development. Who knows, maybe something will come of it.
