It’s an established fact that Facebook doesn’t give a **** about your privacy and for all these years it has just gotten bad to worse. That’s when 4 computer science grads from NYU decided to roll up their sleeves to create an anti-Facebook project from scratch. Called ‘Diaspora*‘, the project is actually an open-source, server-less, personally controlled and de-centralized social network aiming to provide users full control of their privacy.

Diaspora* connects user computers directly, just like the Torrent protocol does. This eliminates the need of a centralized server which implies that none of your private information is stored on a third server. The user is required to install the Diaspora software and has full control of what information to share.

Diaspora*’s modus operendi looks promising but all rests on whether or not the mass switches to the secured and open-source social network.
