Just a quick video shout out to a few of my 1,000 followers, subscribers and friends here on steemit. This platform is the future and we are lucky enough to be riding on it early.
I think the rest of the world is catching on to the difference between the steem ecosystem and the rest of the 'social' networks.
So what is the future of social networks with the current fiasco of Facebook and data scraping of people's innermost fears and desires. You can be sure regulations are going to come thick and fast in the USA.
In Europe a new law is coming into force on 25th May 2018. The General Data Protection Regulationwill seriously impact the activities of companies like Facebook, Google and YouTube.
Most people use Facebook as a social platform and had little or no idea of what the platform was actually doing with the data generated from their activity.
Of course if you were a nerd, a geek or IT teacher like me. Then you knew exactly what Facebook was up to and like me you may have tried to warn as many people as you could about Facebook. But it often fell on deaf ears as people just did not see the dangers of exposing themselves to such a powerful technology.
Now the genie is out of the bottle and things are changing very fast.
What these people need is a set of platforms which will offer a safe alternative. Steemit.com, busy.org and steepshot are just 3 of the over 200 apps that already exist on the steem blockchain.
This could be the start of massive migration to the steem ecosystem. We have to step up our efforts to let people know that the future is here already. On the steem blockchain.
