why facebook or twitter does not use blockchain now?

[daarul50]

There are several platforms that are not suitable when using blockchain technology so that these platforms do not adopt technology to be used for their services because it poses a risk to that platform going forward. I am not surprised if Facebook and Twitter do not use or adopt this blockchain technology because they know that this technology is not suitable for use in their systems.

Facebook and other social network are working successfully with the traditional system. They may be doing strong research on block chain and in near future they introduce blockchain technology to their social application.

- I also think that their work team is very active in the research and development of applications with blockchain technology, and they may have achieved certain results but they dare not apply to reality because exactly as you said, the old system is working very well, this huge change can affect the quality of the company and get the user's complaints. In addition, I feel that blockchain may not be suitable for these social networks, it is too new and still has many flaws, the features of this technology are only suitable for crypto projects, instead of social networks

If Facebook or Twitter will need to introduce the technology of the blockchain then they will do it. I believe their inaction means they don't need to implement it now.

[bitvalak]

Twitter and Facebook are popular media, they always make careful consideration before using technology such as blockchain. The need for people to use Facebook and Twitter is not because of money, it is different from steemit where people use it because they want to get some money from the votes and likes.

[bloodyvio]

well that's because they already existed before the blockchain was born
and blockchain is still in the development phase, it is not wise for them to directly use the blockchain because the blockchain is still in the security audit phase

[Kemarit]

As far as I know, Facebook Has a New Director of Engineering for Blockchain. So probably, the company is gearing towards blockchain, but its all speculation for now. And then Twitter Is Thinking Over Blockchain Technology, CEO Jack Dorsey Tells Congress. Might be closer than we expected though, maybe in couple of years they will roll out something related to blockchain specially on improving their users data and privacy protection.

Because, why would they in the first place? How would blockchain technology help Facebook and Twitter's platform exactly?

Remove your mindset of that every single thing should have it's own blockchain. Blockchain is very unnecessary in most platforms, hence why we see a lot of useless coins and tokens.

You are right that there are lots meaningless coins and tokens, they do not even solve real problem, and some existing products are much better than them.

But just wonder what blockchain will bring to facebook, twitter these social media.

The advantages and disadvantages, and how they evaluate.

[Trcream]

Yeah, that would be one point, blockchain is far mature now. it's risky to use for them.

[larrylegend33]

The facebook and the twitter have their own systems so why would they use the blockchain system? I believe tha they are watching the blockchain and cryptocurrency market closely and they would act if the right time comes. Also i am very curious  that if they run a coin for themselves..

[Minhxx]

I do not know why they do not participate in the electronic market like steemit. In my opinion the founders want to protect their reputation as well as the facebook and twitter platforms they do not want to suffer from this market.

[1993jochico]

Why facebook or twitter, reddit does not use blockchain technology, just like Steemit?

Steemit is like of a success in media, I think.

Steemit is one of the early adoptors because the founder believe in the power of crypto currency but Im not telling that FB, Twiiter etc. doesnt believe in it they are just waiting for the right time to introduce their own crypto currency they already build a huge community and they are just waiting for mass adoption on most of the people on social media.

[eternalgloom]

When you say that Steemit is a success in social media, I would have to respond that it's really not compared to Facebook and Twitter.
I say that as an avid Steemit user btw, so I very much have a bias in favor of Steemit.

We just have to be realistic here, user retention on Steemit is just abysmal. I think they only retain like 5% of new members, maybe even less than that.
It currently can't even be compared to Facebook or Twitter, since it's completely different.

Steemit is more like Medium currently, you actually need to write full articles if you want to make any sort of income.

Why would these social media giants use blockchain when they're raking in massive amounts of profits as it stands now?

[Hustinog]

It is for everybody's safety. Facebook and Twitter thinks that it might be a scam or transaction into illegal things. If the government proves that a scam and illegal transactions have been made through facebook or twitter, it might be the end of their credibility because their site's been used to do such crime.

[bitfocus]

no idea about twitter but there were a lot of news online about facebook developing a blockchain team. also, facebook authority just blocked ico related ads and lifted after a few months, as far I recall.

[Kikeeping]

they are still looking for a good blockchain project to where investing them alot money. recruit some blockchain developer or pay it for knowledge. we don't know what they do it, but they are very interesting for it. i thing next year they announcement good news.

[tightcoat490]

Blockchain's implications go against their primary motives and sources of income, which is people's data. Twitter and Facebook do not want people's data to be protected and secure. They make money from it.

Advertisers get access to sensitive consumer information through these social media platforms in order to create targeted ad campaigns. Consumers do not get paid for their information, since they agree — whether they know it or not — to give it away for free to platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.

This is why decentralized social networks are the future.

But why would they use blockchain?..And this is my point about some people  YOU don't use blockchain for EVERYTHING ..

I think people have blockchain tourette's  some people must wake up have some cornflakes and say cornflakes on the blockchain shoes on the blockchain socks on the blockchain..

I thinks many need to go away and know why you need a blockchain and why you don't.. See you all in 5 years with the answer..

Funny how many are spending 100k on consultants and the consult NOTHING in this space ..

I could consult many many real dreams that could quite easy be so BUT i wait..

See as I said this is like a gold mine and the one thing about a gold mine IS?  will you come up with some gold or will it be someone else OR as it all gone and all is left is
FOOLS GOLD ..

I don't see the reason why facebook would use blockchain   UNLESS    but that's my ideas thanks..

Consultant cost 200k a year at least to consult WHAT  Considering this is only 10 years old and i been into this for 6 years what are they consulting on..

If i build a blockchain does that mean i can produce free money with the tokens <ICO building a racing car and those tokens will buy you a car..

So can everyone do this?..So to all people make your own BLOCKCHAINS and say i am build shoes and those tokens will buy you shoes mine have flashing lights on them..

See i can make a blockchain for anything but nothing really ..

I doing an ICO for making a new paint that smells of strawberry  so when you paint your house red it smells of strawberry when you walk past ..

ICO starts on monday  <<<take the monies and run in a fashion .Well i can say we are getting sued and drag it out  get my friend to sue us knowing he is in on it..

So many scams to get peoples money then tell polite lies to swindle you all.. Oh i cannot say no more   even judges can be bought if an ICO makes 500 million ..

This space is a dream for all types of computer scammers to lie and cheat the way to peoples cash..

BLOCKCHAIN BLOCKCHAIN  BLOCKCHAIN   please do tell us WHY   put matchsticks on the blockchain  put anything on a blockchain  because most of you don't even know why you need them and why you don't..

Blockchain creates an immutable history from the moment of its inception to to the present.

Facebook and Twitter specifically do not want this. For example, when they censor conservatives, the simple goal is to make them vanish. Not to allow permanent recording and retrieval of their ideas and observations, quite the opposite.
