Sphere is built on the idea that privacy, company transparency, and data security should be the fundamental building block of every social platform.
The future of networking / communication lies in the hands of Social platforms and its activities. Every click, every moment we are online billions of dollars are made from the data used. From those nearly billion active users, volumes upon volumes of data are generated, saved, and often sold to the highest bidder. Sphere was built to become the most trusted decentralized social network worldwide, thereby giving us a say and taking back the power of every click and every data used. Its network is based on breaking the greedy system and disrupt their $500+ billion dollar industry by joining the digital revolution today. Your online activity and your social media presence contribute to billion dollar industries. Don't you think you should be entitled to better privacy protection?Don't you think you should be entitled to a portion of the riches made off of your data?
