2) complete security.
But its being impossible to monetize would prohibit there being a network at all, wouldn't it?
You can do this already with email and pgp, or encrypted attachments and pgp. You might get closer to the goal by making THAT easy for non-techs, rather than adding the difficulty of creating a whole new social network as such.
- lukev 17y agoNot at all. The network would exist - it would just be all encrypted and you couldn't navigate it unless you held the key to each successive node. To the end user, it could be more or less just like Facebook, and they could forget that it was encrypted while using it. It'd be hard to monetize because social network money (what there is of it) is all based on contextual and targeted advertising, or on gathering user statistics. Both would be impossible if all the data were encrypted.
