It is my belief that we need a mass-adopted social network that is resistant to mass-surveillance. I have tried to check on the current alternatives, but they do not seem promising. The gripe I have is that they make it possible to let a central server handle your stuff, stored unencrypted (please correct me if I have misunderstood this point, as it is central). This means you risk all your friends data, and that is unacceptable.
If the govt, wants to find your status updates, it will probably be quite easy for them to trojan one of your friends. Hence it is probably very hard to protect against pointed attacks. But we can protect against non-specific attacks, like "SELECT user FROM comments WHERE body like '%terrorism%' ". Potentially, we could maybe make it hard to connect a profile with the person who owns it. Finally it is supposed to be user friendly and fast, so that people also actually use it.
Anyone interested in helping me develop this?
