Abstract:

In today’s social media context, many criticalities have emerged, particularly concerning the security of users’ personal data and the unbalanced redistribution of the value generated. This work, analyzing 40 emerging platforms, investigates how Blockchain technology is reshaping the social media scenario through transparency, value redistribution, ownership awareness, decentralization of data, and censorship resistance.
