Nicholas Carr on how to fix social media
The solution is simple.  Exchange the client&#x2F;server model for a peer-to-peer model.  By peer-to-peer and I mean literally IP to IP and not something like instant messenger that bounces messages through a central server.  Only then can you assure a fix to interference.<p>This requires:<p>* Routes - both parties to be on IPv6 or either party to have something like port address translation on a IPv6 interface.<p>* Identity - This will require a combination of CA and STUN.  The certificate from the CA and corresponding key pair associated with that certificate ensures a user is who they say they are and their keys are respectable.  The corresponding key exchange ensures the data is confined to the two parties.  The STUN server correlates the unique user ID, such as that which is certified by the certificate, to an IP address.<p>Anything less is just another game for some media company to use you as a product.
