I've been wondering lately how feasible it would be to build an e2e encrypted social networking service. Just give people a completely secure place to store their photos, build a network of friends, message people, and promote social events without having their data mined for advertisements and government subpoenas.

- dano 9y agoI think Apple is trying to move towards local-data, that is, taking traditional cloud based services and putting them into the device. The idea being that your data doesn't have to be aggregated centrally in order to apply machine learning and develop connections. Your data is yours to control. I don't know how effective this move will be.
