A Literature Review of Block Chain Application in Social Media

Abstract

The importance of online social networks (OSNs) in people’s daily lives is growing, however all widely used OSNs are centralised, which brings up a number of management, security, and privacy concerns. The potential to address the aforementioned problems is provided by a architecture technology which is known as blockchain. In the below work, an Online Social Network based on block-chain is created and its decentralised operation is demonstrated. To decentralise data, a large volume of typically low-security requirements can be stored in the Interplanetary Filesystem (IPFS). Users may self-manage the OSN in a democratic manner thanks to a decentralised autonomous organisation that has been built for user autonomy
