What will happen in your session?
Our session aims to educate people on the decentralized future of the internet, we are ushering in a new era of inclusiveness using Blockchain and other decentralized technologies. We will explain how anyone can become part of a decentralized system of news and content sharing free from any censorship. This will enable journalists and whistle blowers from all over the world to securely and safely exchange immutable reports and content to the audience. News dissemination and self-expression should be open to all and should not be controlled by a few corporations, the advent of blockchain network, which can arguably never be taken offline is the best way to do it.
What is the goal or outcome of your session?
The goal of our session is to educate people about the nuances of decentralized technologies and their potential. Once people are able to wrap their heads around the concept of Blockchain, we will talk about the benefits of an open-ledger news dissemination platform. We need more journalists and content creators to be aware of this platform. The larger goal is to help participants to appreciate decentralization as a philosophy and the concept of trust over the internet to build decentralized applications on their own or contribute to existing projects.
