SPHERE WILL TAKE OVER THE CURRENT SOCIAL NETWORKING SYSTEM

Currently there are now over 3 billion people around the world who have accounts on social media , meaning that almost half of the world's population spends at least part of their day updating their status or story.

A new report compiled by Hootsuite and We Are Social and published by The Next Web found that there are 3.028 billion active social media users around the world. That's a mind-boggling number, especially when you consider that the world's total estimated population to be 7.524 billion people.

Which means that about 40 percent of the global population is using social media, and only a small portion of the estimated 3.819 billion people with internet access around the world don't have at least one social profile. Mobile users make up a large chunk of the base, with 2.780 billion active users.

These user numbers are massive, and according to the report's data, which came
from a wide range of international sources and the social platforms themselves, they'll keep growing. There's been a 4 percent uptick in total global users (which equates to
121 million people) since just this April. That's about a million new users a day, which is rough news to hear for Twitter, which
reported a flat user growth rate at its most recent letter to shareholders.

Facebook is, unsurprisingly, the king of the social media platforms, with an estimated 2.047 billion monthly active users (MAU), while its other properties, WhatsApp and Messenger were over the billion MAU mark as well in the third and fourth position, respectively. Instagram followed closely
behind with roughly 700 million MAU.
These social networks like facebook, twitter, instagram etc have become a major hub for
advertisement by big companies. These advertisement companies are exploiting our
data for their personal interests without intimating the actual owners of data. Social
networking sites have become the most powerful tool for collecting data, as there are
no rules and regulations which can stop these
companies from doing this, so they are not afraid of any thing and use the data at their
will.

Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, flickr, Tumblr, LinkedIn, etc. (the list could go
on and on) are all well-known social
networking sites. They have all become
popular communications media for the vast
majority of people. Take a minute to think
about what some of these sites might say or
what information they might have about you.

Got it?

Now think about that information and if someone with malicious intent might be able
to use it against you. Below is a quick list I
created concerning typical information from
these sites:

Name
Relationship status
Job Title
Employer
Interests
Friends
Family
Political Views
Age
Race
Religion

Where and how you spend your free time
Places you’ve been
All of the items listed above could be used to create a profile and potentially exploit you or a loved one. When I say exploit, I mean someone looking to harm you could use that information in a phishing email, letter, phone call and so on, or even to find or stalk you. Think about those targeted junk emails or advertisement phone calls you may have received that are specific to something about you. They could have taken that information from a public social media site. Kind of a scary thought, isn’t it?

You might be asking yourself, “Why is someone trying to scare me about using social media?” An average social media user might not see the harm in letting the world know what they like. Not knowing the risks involved in using social media, leaves a user open to exploitation.

Moreover, these companies earn billions and billions of dollars not by their own hard work but by using our data, don’t you think we should be compensated?

well, i think so and Sphere has the answer to all our questions and all our sufferings.

Sphere is a decentralized social network which is built on some specific fundamentals which include
the privacy, security and data transparency. It aims to return the power of data privacy and monetization back to the social network
users. Keeping in view the problems faced by the people on other networks where they deprive the users the right to privacy of their data. Because of the centralized nature of these network, social network users chat
everyday on social networks not knowing that their data is being compromised.

why should users give away their data for free when they as proprietry owners of the data have the right to chose whether or not to
share the data and earn money from the data they share?

WE HAVE A SOLUTION, WE HAVE SPHERE

Sphere will be giving the power of data privacy and monetization back to the users.
Users will now don't need to allow social networks exploit there data without getting anything in return. With the introduction of sphere you reserve the privacy of your data and the right to earn from the
data you share.

There is still kinda a difference here. While steem is generated on its own blockchain mechanics, sats are erc20 token on the Etherium chain. But you are right, competition is always good and they seem to be quite serious with their ideas.
