Draft Digital Bill of Rights for Virtual Communities and Markets

The rules any digital community who wants to be a part of the new social economy has to follow, including a 50% customer voted in board, strong privacy protections, open source, the allowance for exchange in order for the markets to function

Extremely tough on spam

how the social sites and others peel apart

Social Capital is how much society values you (reputation), and thus is the perfect currency to pay for services with. Unlike most money, social capital does not exhaust itself with use, and is self-replenishing. Before money, this is how the world worked: If you were well-liked and had no money, you would always find food- but if you were hated and rich your safety could never be guaranteed. Think "Whuffie".

We need seperate currencies for goods and services, because while goods are scarce and limited, services are limited only by human imagination.

The future of social networking is very.. small. Instead of the behemoth corporations we have today, the social networks of tomorrow might function far more like real communities, and have thousands, instead of millions of members. Instead of being large, centralized "stacks", they will be run as independent nodes, each maybe focusing on doing one thing really well. We see this today with stand-alone apps like snapchat and kik, that are simple to use and intuitive.

Connectivity between social networks is provided by a universal messaging system- the backbone of the network (not unlike email), and it's provided in the standards set. there is a universal message inbox, in it you can choose to see messages from just this website or all your messages at once, and the universal message system always tells you where the message is coming from and what your account name is there, of course you can choose to connect as many accounts as you want, although one account, your "money" account, will be used to earn social capital and linked to your real identity- all accounts linked to this account will be shown on your reputation page. You can create throwaway accounts to say things you don't want to attach your real name to, this is critical to freedom.

Tribes directly run nodes, they can rent this server space or run it themselves but it only makes sense. That is the only way they could gain that much power: They would need to run their own online communities, which they could then use to ban people. Members of tribes have to connect to other nodes via that one account, so it makes sense that they could ban them tbh. The initial signing-up process obviously involves human verification

Nodes will be small, many having under 1 million members
Even the commenting system will be through the universal inbox

A universal feed is also provide, though seldom used
