You need peer-to-peer, fully encrypted applications.
Sites are coordinated with a "publish-subscribe" mechanism.
You put up a service on your local machine (chat, webserver, etc)
You "publish" the IP address and public key your site.
You "subscribe" to a site using the IP address and public key.
We used to run bulletin board systems (BBS) in this fashion.
It worked rather well.
Peer-to-peer cuts out the big server guys (Google, Facebook, etc.)
They can no longer gather your data.
Encryption end-to-end makes it impossible to insert ads.
It makes it hard to gather data.
We need more peer-to-peer, fully end-to-end encrypted publish/subscribe software.
