I completely agree with you, in that we need to build a lot of awareness for flare. But the public media are already doing it for us  . With the Trump election, Brexit vote, and Russia investigation, more and more press are covering the way Facebook abuses user data. This trend will continue, but there are still millions (out of 2 billion FB users) who do care enough to switch to flare!

Plus, when they do switch, the data is not only anonymous and encrypted, but also becomes a blockchain asset that they own. This means that users will literally own their own data, and not just entrusting it to a startup 

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to introduce myself as well!   I'm the Head of Product for flare, and we are very pleased to be sharing this with you.

flare has significant potential to disrupt a broken industry. The way that big tech companies treat your data (particularly Facebook) is absolutely terrifying. I remember I first became concerned about a year ago after I read this article: http://saintsal.com/facebook . I now only use Facebook for messaging friends (as it's sadly still the easiest way to do it).

Anyway, flare does away with advertising and data harvesting by monetising with storage instead. There is significant demand for a service like this, not only from people in the crypto community, but even non-technologists who worry about what happens to their data. I believe that flare will not only has the potential to significantly increase awareness of privacy issues, but also become a significant player in the social media market with millions of users.

And of course, we want to get the community involved; a project like this especially won't succeed without the community backing it. So do watch this space for a bounty announcement in the coming days (and an airdrop in the coming weeks )!

If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask me or Reaal! I'm reachable here, on Telegram (@garywupx), and email (gary@flare-global.com). Looking forwards to your questions!
