Though most of the alternative social networks are user friendly and feature rich, they all store user data in plain sight on the server.
ReplyDeleteSome of have them have an active backdoor.
Invisocial.com is the only social network that encrypts all of your data before saving on the server.
This may make invisocial a bit slow and not so user friendly but it protects your information from hackers and marketeers.
@Crypto Guru thank you for sharing about the Invisocial.com social network. I will check it out.
