#MyFirstSquarePost Hello, Binance SA Beginner’s Guide to Web3 Social
Web3 social is on the rise. But what really makes it different from web2 social networks? I compiled this thread to provide you with a lay of the land of this new decentralized primitive. An Educative Thread!

First things first, before you speak about web3 Social you have to understand Previous or established traditional Social which brings us asking; What’s centralized social media? These are the apps most people use every day; the Instagrams, Twitters, and Facebooks of the world.
In centralized social media, users’ social data and connections are stored on centralized servers owned and controlled by large corporations and parent companies like Meta (Facebook) or ByteDance (TikTok]

Decentralized social media is the opposite - it’s where users’ online interactions, content, and social data are stored in transparent, open-source environments, like on a blockchain (i.e., Ethereum) or a decentralized storage server (i.e., IPFS).

tokenizing user-owned content refers to owning, storing, and collecting content as tokens on a blockchain, often as NFTs. Tokenizing content (and connections) is a major use case and opportunity of Web3 Social to return value to content creators,
who no longer must navigate the limiting climate of publishing content via centralized social media channels to reach an audience and generate value.

How are Web3 and Web2 Social Networks Built Differently? Web2 (Centralized) social Network:
1)Has a central authority or organization that controls and manages the entire network. 2)Has a central server that stores all the data and information shared by users.

Web3 (Decentralised) social Network:
1)Has no central authority or organization controlling the network
2)Uses blockchain technology to distribute the data and information across a network of users
3)Has no central server, so the data and information is distributed across the network
4)Has no policies or rules that govern the content shared by users
5)Is more resistant to censorship and the removal of content Has the ability to protect user data and privacy
