## How can we solve this?
## How do we solve it
A new Social Platform needs to be built that attempts to be the first to solve
these problems: it has to allow people to publish their thoughs, give them power
to control their content, their pages and their profiles but also the freedom to
live without any rules. It has to work on all platforms, all networks,
even without the Internet.
