Hello,

Honestly I don't really see the interest for facebook because they need control. They have rules, they ban or block what they want and this is not the purpose of the blockchain which is free. NEw project are going to be live with social media base on the blockchain and I think in that case they are much more adapt and will succeed in that way.

Honesty i don't think there would be any need for that. Anyway since Facebook is based on the digital world, surely it can be integrated on to the blockchain tech. Also the bad character of many of us will even prevent such a large firm from tying to integrate decentralization. We need to change for the better to achieve better. Anyways what more, we're humans and we're all different- all of us can't be good.

There are actually a few ICOs undergoing right now that are basically social media websites based on blockchain, I think one of them is called Buddy, but there are a few others that are like Facebook, LinkedIn (talent based) etc. However, due to the amount of data being processed, only part of it will be blockchain based at least for now.

Well ... in principle, I though not a programmer, but I think that this is quite possible. It seems to me that Zuckerberg will not consciously take this step. After a huge number of cases with the sink of user data, it's probably not even the smartest person who realized that the head of facebook will provide data without any problems if someone tells him to do so

I guess its possible, but its take long time ago before that happen. Someday bitcoin will adopted bitcoin and we hope also the government of some countries that until now they don't accept bitcoin will become agree.

Yet the whole community is waiting for the blockade in everyday life. But how long to wait? We do not know

Sometimes there are people who claim that the Facebook social network can be downloaded to the blockchain as a distributed application. They believe that the blockchain-project, which they have in their favorites, can be used to place a social network on it.
The most important thing: the delivery of messages should be instantaneous or with a reasonable delay of not more than a few seconds. What's the point in a retarded application?
At the same time, the price of each transaction (and in the case of messaging one user makes hundreds of such transactions every day) will be prohibitively high. And the whole messaging system will become useless. Recall that now the exchange of messages in Facebook and other social networks is completely free. Users are not ready to pay for messages on the Internet, this is the whole point of the Internet!

How do you like the idea? Is it real? Would you use it?

It is theoretically possible,but it's pointless.What is facebook?Well,behind the good design and various features,facebook is just lots of programming code,uploaded on lots of servers.What is the blockchain?Lots of programming code executing tasks on lots of servers.I wish that facebook would look more like Shapchat and allow messages and status updates that self-destruct after a while.This will save a lot of space.

Yes it is possible but it will become totally a worthless job because when you get something free of cost you don't need to pay for that and if you do you will called fool.

If it gives considerable changes on how one uses the platform then it will be a hit. However knowing the scandals of Facebook regarding data handling, no matter what form or how innovative they can be with the blockchain technology, it still isn't really appealing for those who want more privacy over their personal information. It is possible for them to use or integrate blockchain into whichever application they deem fit because of their great engineers but what bothers me is if there will still be a data security breach from the inside knowing the recent scandals about Facebook and Cambridge Analytica.

What kind of network do you trust? I think there are nuances everywhere Undecided

As far I know blockchain is the most updated technology so, it is obviously possible but pay for using social sites is really seems foolish.

We want faster and more secure. But, you are right to pay no point. But we do not cease to believe in Facebook.

I think conversations on Facebook and on some social media will always be free even though using blockchain technology, of course with blockchain every conversation will generate profits, this is not about the time or fee of conversation.

but the blockchain system can record each of our activities in a block. it will not be easily hacked and the kriptonya value will benefit the media.

Can the payment be transferred to advertisers? Yet Facebook has recently focused on promoting advertising through its network. Then there can be no such problem? And ordinary users will make the most of all the benefits of Facebook

Lolz....the design won't be like how you think of above....a message can just be hash(sign) with your receiver public key then send in a seconds in a less cost fees and fast manner

As far i know it is possible but it will become totally a waste because there no need to upload face to the blockchain.

All I know is that I know nothing.
a lot of things are possible to do, including all the things you can do using the blockchain technology but only being possible doesn't mean it is a good idea to do or those who do it end up with a useful thing.
for example you can multiply 2342342342342 with 8987897385734 by hand but you can also use a calculator. similarly you can use Facebook as your social media platform or you can use a decentralized version of it which you would have to install a new application (run a full node) download a lot of data and be restricted to limited platforms (PC not mobile for instance),...

I don't think there is time to associate between Facebook and blockchain. I prefer to use Facebook according to the site. if it's free, why should it be paid. it's just a waste of money, time and energy. just enjoy the existing features, it will be better. and that's my personal opinion.

This is a great idea and I like it, but I think it will never happen because then Facebook will not be able to ban users that it is not pleasing, as it is now.

I guess facebook will adopt blockchain soon as they already deployed a team to research blockchain
https://www.recode.net/2018/5/8/17329696/facebook-blockchain-crypocurrency-david-marcus-crypto-messenger-app

Interestingly, in reality, how much do they need for years to implement the blockchain system?

Obviously they'll start from a scratch so we can't conclude yet but it's gonna be a challenge for Marcus' team.

Yet something is still boiling up, so if they gonna use the blockchain which I know is an open ledger, how we can be sure that all the data is safe when blockchain can be encrypted the data storage.

We can recall that some panel in US had interviewed Mark Zuckerberg about this and yet he ain't so sure.

Nothing lasts forever
Firstly, is it even possible for a user to download facebook ? The Admin sould surely have the access but then the information of millions of people would make it a huge amount of data and hence this won't be possible and feasible for it to upload on the blockchain. If you mean to say that is it possible to create an application similar to Facebook and then upload it to blockchain or if it is possible to create a social media website over the blockchain then yes it is possible and there are already projects developing such platforms.
