Imagine a world where your digital identity is really yours, where each message, connection and interaction is not locked in the walls of a company platform but exists as an extension of your personal autonomy. It is not a utopian vision, it is the necessary evolution of social media at a time when digital sovereignty is a fundamental right.
For decades, we have exchanged our digital independence without knowing the convenience of centralized platforms. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, these platforms have shaped our digital lives, but they work more like golden cages. Each article we create, each relationship we cultivate, each conversation in which we are committed is ultimately controlled by companies that can modify, monetize or erase our digital existence with a single change in policy or an algorithmic decision.
A new future for Tiktok
While Tiktok decides his future in terms of property, Project Liberty has teamed up with Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit and pioneer in online community construction, and Kevin O’Leary, renowned investor and entrepreneur known for his role on Shark tankTo take the platform on the chain. For what?
Basically, it is more than Tiktok. This is to know who controls digital spaces where billions connect, create and consume information. For too long, the most dynamic communities of the Internet have been shaped – and finally governed – by a handful of companies. Project Liberty leads the movement to change this, ensuring that social networks serve the people who feed them, not only those who own them.
The key to this change is the frequency, a public blockchain and without authorization developed by the technological team of Project Liberty and designed specifically for high volume social networks, strengthens the bases of an Internet focused on the user, prioritization of interoperability, sovereignty of data and resilience against centralized control. Together, these initiatives aim to remove social media from business ownership and to a model open and controlled by the user.
Tiktok, despite all its cultural impact, is no different. While the debate on its property and data practices continues, the more important question remains unresolved: a single entity, if a government or a company must control the social fabric of a generation? What is at stake is not only that has Tiktok, but if a platform of its scale can operate outside the centralized control limits. If it is to be redesigned in a decentralized framework, it will require a foundation based on real interoperability, data belonging to users and open governance. This is where the frequency comes into play.
From Tiktok to Bluesky: Build a decentralized future
The question of Tiktok’s future highlights a much more important change in the way we think of social media. The need for decentralization is no longer theoretical, it is an urgent necessity. Bluesky, an open source social media project, is an attempt to answer this call.
Bluesky is not just another platform, it represents an effort to redefine the relationship between users and their digital identities. But the real digital liberation requires more than good intentions, it requires a structural commitment to full decentralization. It offers an overview of what a decentralized social web might look like, but key vulnerabilities remain.
Bluesky, despite all his promise, is still based on structural strangulation points which present a risk for its long -term decentralization. The storage nodes remain largely centralized under the control of Bluesky PBC suppliers or third -party suppliers, which means that user data is always hosted in locations that may become control points. The relay and tuhosis systems, responsible for the distribution of data, remain concentrated in the hands of a few. And although it is positive that Bluesky has implemented the W3C standard for decentralized identifiers (DIDS), the PLC (large book of identification information) is also centralized. These may resemble small technical details at present, but history has shown several times how much minor technical decisions can become the very mechanisms through which power is consolidated and autonomy is eroded.
Frequency, the backbone of a decentralized social network
This is where the frequency enters the image, not only as a blockchain, but as a entirely new framework for digital identity and social media governance. The frequency does not simply modify the current model; It rethinks the way we interact online from zero. Instead, the central authorities dictate the terms, the frequency guarantees that users – not platforms – hold the keys to their digital life.
Decentralization is more than a technical change, it is a question of restoring fundamental rights. Users must have the possibility of granting access to their data, but just as above all, they must have the power to revoke it. The relationships they establish online – subscribers, connections, conversations – must belong to them, and not to a platform that can handle or erase them at will.
Decentralization with goal
The frequency operates on the principle of minimum and deliberate decentralization which makes long -term viable the sustainability of the ecosystem at the population level. The only data stored on chain is what is essential to guarantee individual data rights. This design approach allows effective optimization of the chain focused on basic social events, mainly activity linked to the primitives of the account, the graph and the communication. This concentration on the basic social makes it possible to design tokenized incentives around the management of the network capacity, with specific incentives for creators, consumers and other more specific actors left at higher levels of the technological battery.
The promise of an internet belonging to the user is incomplete without robust guarantees that protect personal data. The frequency guarantees that users have cryptographic protection on their information, as well as granular controls which dictate the way their data is shared. At the same time, they should have the flexibility to impose specific restrictions on the platform, ensuring that their content only appears in digital areas where they want it to be seen. In addition, they must be able to delete their content at their discretion. They should also have the power to restrict the content to specific platforms if they choose it.
This approach directly addresses the fundamental obstacles that prevented the attempts at previous decentralization of the scale. The frequency guarantees that no single entity – not even its own node operators – has the power to modify or censor user data. It provides a decentralized backup of the Bluesky Firehosis, ensuring that the content generated by the user remains accessible outside the control of a single part. Its architecture is designed not only for ideological purity, but for sustainability and practical scalability, offering minimum latency and profitable operations to ensure that the system remains viable for mass adoption.
Reach digital self-association
Internet was supposed to be open, interconnected and free. But today, we hold at a crossroads: either we continue to count on the social media controlled by companies, or we take the necessary measures to create a more open digital future and belonging to users.
Bluesky is a step forward, but without approaching his remaining centralization points, he may just become another enclosed garden, perhaps a little more open, but always where users lack real control. Tiktok presents an even greater challenge. The debate on his property is lacking the point. The real question is not to know who should have Tiktok, but if a social media giant should be detained in the traditional sense. Decentralization offers a new path to follow, that where platforms are built around user sovereignty, rather than control of the company.
With the frequency, we get closer to one more step to recover the original promise of the Internet. True digital liberation requires freeing itself from data monopolies that have defined the social media era. It is not only a technological upgrade, it is a change of power necessary.
