Technology may help by making it easy for people to host/share their data. But technology is driven by politics. So we kind of need both. The solution that I see, is transitioning from social media, where people use some centralized service to "socialize", to social infrastructure, where people run their own servers and connect to the servers of their friends making a real social network. IPFS may be a step in this direction.
