Super-private social network launched to take on Facebook with support of Anonymous

[wehateporn]

A new social network, backed by Anonymous, hopes to take on Facebook and the other social media giants with a commitment to privacy, security and transparency about how posts are promoted.

The site, Minds.com, has the same basic options as any other social network: users send updates to their followers, who can comment or promote posts that they read. But unlike its competitors it doesn?t aim to make money from gathering data ? instead, it encrypts all messages, so that they can?t be read by advertisers or by governments.
