Crypto Twitter reacts to Block.one's plans to launch EOS-powered social network, Voice

One, the company behind EOS, announced on June 1st that it will launch a blockchain-powered social media platform.

One, revealed during a presentation in Washington, D.C., that the blockchain-enabled open-source software publisher's new social media network, called Voice, will be deployed on EOS, one of the largest platforms for building decentralized applications.

The crypto entrepreneur pointed out that current social media networks are designed to primarily benefit the platform and their owners and management, and not the user who is actually making meaningful contributions to the platform.

One will launch the new Voice social media network on EOS' public delegated proof-of-stake-based blockchain.

The Voice social media network will be deployed on EOS' EOSIO protocol-enabled public blockchain and "All interactions on Voice will be public," Block.

One claims they're "Uniquely positioned to lead the social media revolution" as EOS-based dApps reportedly account for 70 percent of all current "Blockchain activity", several prominent members of the crypto community believe that existing social media platforms like Twitter are "Already perfect."

Shaughnessy went on to claim that all data being used and generated on the EOS network is at "The whim of 15 of 21 block producers."

EOS New York further questioned the Delphi Digital co-founder's statements by arguing that he never really understood the power of blockchain-based social media networks.

New networks arise not b/c of ideology but b/c some alternative social experience that compels behavior shift.

"To date, the risk of deplatforming simply has not outweighed the cost of leaving the network. Whenever we ask whether social network X is susceptible to disruption by a decentralized alternative, we need to ask 'what downsides of centralization are so high that people would suffer the costs of network exit?'".
