But the ISP controls data transmission, not storage. The ISP can't go sell your private information to someone, short of logging packets and extracting the data, which they have no authority to do. The point of distributing social networks is moving control into the hands of users rather than big business, and this makes sense because social activities off the net operate this way.
- dpcan 16y agoThat's basically what I'm saying too. The user needs to be in control, but this idea needs work. Simply going with the "node" route is giving ISP's too much control over the distribution, and hence, your data is still being "controlled" by a big corporation, just in another manner of speaking.

When a provider starts misbehaving, transparently move those nodes to the others. This way, the FB-alternative becomes a voice in the free market for respecting privacy.
