Instagram CEO\u00a0Adam Mosseri recently said that\u00a0every internet user\u00a0would own their data which will be stored in a blockchain that only they will have access to, while envisioning the Web3.<\/p>\n

He made these remarks during a TED Talk and\u00a0explained how through Web3 tech giants won’t be able to access user data and monetise it as it will be completely in control of the user.<\/p>\n

He detailed that content creators would be able to gain independence using Web3 from platforms like TikTok and Instagam.<\/p>\n

Content creators will be able to directly build a relationship with their fans, sharing data they wish to share, while social media platforms will have no say. Even quitting or being removed from a platform would not mean a user will lose\u00a0their subscriber list.<\/p>\n

Mosseri described it as \u201ca dramatic shift in power away from platforms like [Instagram] and to \u2026 creators.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also went on to hypthesise that creators using Web3\u00a0would be able to form equity crowd funding, making investments early in their career.<\/p>\n

When asked by The Wired<\/a><\/em>, why tech platforms would hand over control to users, and what would be in their interest, he said, “I think platforms will be giving up some short-term control for there to be a larger pie in the long run. A big risk is the size of the market for subscriptions.”<\/p>\n

When asked about business on platforms and monetising through advertisements, he said: “My idea would be for a subset of creators to use platforms like YouTube and Instagram to build up a brand and demand for what they do. They could post to whatever platform they want, and give away however much they want for free. But they would also have a group of people who subscribe to them, and that relationship is built in a way that no platform can take it away.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
