*   When we see the name decentralisation, we think of terms like privacy, security, resistance and so on. And while these may seem distant, they are what we all need most. The future of humanity cannot be separated from the internet, and online life is an integral part of everyone's life. Since it is life, there is socialising. With social interaction comes the need for privacy, security and so on. At this point, a decentralised, socially enabled network is what people are desperately looking for. That's why people want a product that returns ownership of everyone's personal data to everyone, and everyone has the power to decide on their own data. This data can be tied to each person's wallet and can be used unhindered and at any time in the world of web3.
    
*   People also need decentralised social products because they are tired of being like a person without clothes in the web2 world, where centralisers can analyse each person's psychology, preferences etc. through big data and give people guided recommendations and sales pitches. This has led to everyone losing their ability to think and get information.
