The principle behind decentralization would allow social media to act more like…

Efforts by courts and state bodies to regulate or control it are slowly catching up, but so far have been unsuccessful. And social media companies have a record of prioritising…

Alongside, it has also added new features for users to moderate who can see their posts and interact with them.
