In the end, these media platforms will be completely decentralized.
And completely under the control of the writer.

Because everyone will have (what i call) a "Wall server"
and the f-c-book of the future, will just be a browser that goes and collects all of your friend's updates.

So, you will have complete control over who gets to see what data.
(of course, you are not in control of the data that gets shared from that point)
