With 30 million users, Taringa is the fourth largest social media operator in the region. In the press release accompanying the announcement, IOV Labs alludes to its ambition to introduce a decentralized sharing economy to Taringa via the RSK platform.<\/p>\n<p>It seems likely that such a sharing economy would involve the use of a token for the social media platform, that would be used to reward users for uploading unique content. This would mark a stark contrast from the current social media monetization model, which relies heavily on advertising revenues generated from targeted adverts.<\/p>\n<p>The Taringa announcement highlights the flaws of the existing model, including the well-documented privacy breaches and censorship controversies that have plagued the likes of Facebook and Twitter over recent years. At the same time, it touches on the fact that <a href=\"http:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin\">Bitcoin<\/a> and blockchain have not broken into the mainstream in the way that many people anticipated.<\/p>\n<h2>A new way forward for social media?<\/h2>\n<p>Of course, privacy scandals aren\u2019t the only reason Facebook has dominated headlines over recent months. The tech giant has been entangled in a regulatory spider web ever since it unveiled plans to introduce the <a href=\"http:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/libra\">Libra cryptocurrency<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, the intent of Libra is far from the same as IOV Labs\u2019 plans for Taringa. The Libra website sets out a vision that addresses a real problem in the world today &#8211; that of financial inclusion. There are an <a href=\"https:\/\/finca.org\/blogs\/2017-global-findex-a-fresh-look\/\">estimated 1.7 billion unbanked people<\/a> in the world, and <a href=\"http:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/facebook\">Facebook<\/a> believes it\u2019s better equipped to address the problem than the current global financial system.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_110955\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-110955\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/libra-may-be-canceled-due-to-regulatory-concerns-facebook-tells-investors\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-110955\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/libra-cancel-social-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"Libra may be canceled due to regulatory concerns, Facebook tells investors\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/libra-cancel-social-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/libra-cancel-social-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/libra-cancel-social-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/libra-cancel-social.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-110955\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Related: <a title=\"Libra may be canceled due to regulatory concerns, Facebook tells investors\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/libra-may-be-canceled-due-to-regulatory-concerns-facebook-tells-investors\/\">Libra may be canceled due to regulatory concerns, Facebook tells investors<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But therein lies the problem. Libra intends to infringe the boundaries of existing financial infrastructure, which is causing consternation among regulators. Facebook hasn\u2019t indicated that introducing Libra will change its monetization model in any way. Instead, it represents an expansion into the financial markets.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Facebook\u2019s track record on privacy gives regulators even further cause for concern. The company already has an iron grip on our personal and social data. Should it have control over our finances too?<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, the intent of IOV Labs towards Taringa is taking a very different approach that isn\u2019t likely to upset the regulators \u2014 a monetization model based on user-generated content. It\u2019s fortunate for IOV Labs that Taringa users are already switched on to this model. Back in 2015, Taringa <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.xapo.com\/xapo-and-taringa-launch-largest-bitcoin-integration\/\">established a partnership with the Xapo wallet<\/a> so that users could get paid in Bitcoin for uploading unique content to the platform. So, it\u2019s not quite as experimental as it may first appear.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also worth noting that the RSK platform is developed on the Bitcoin network, meaning the company can leverage the reputation and security of Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<h2>Should Facebook change direction?<\/h2>\n<p>If RSK can make a success of this model with Taringa, then perhaps it\u2019s time for Facebook to re-examine its business plan. After all, the platform has suffered a tremendous loss of trust among users over recent years, with the Cambridge Analytica scandal proving particularly damaging.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45708\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45708\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/disgraced-data-analytics-firm-cambridge-analytica-is-halting-its-plans-for-an-ico\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-45708\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/cambridge-analytica-ico-social-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"Disgraced Data Analytics Firm Cambridge Analytica Is Halting Its Plans for an ICO\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/cambridge-analytica-ico-social-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/cambridge-analytica-ico-social-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/cambridge-analytica-ico-social-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/cambridge-analytica-ico-social.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45708\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Related: <a title=\"Disgraced Data Analytics Firm Cambridge Analytica Is Halting Its Plans for an ICO\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/disgraced-data-analytics-firm-cambridge-analytica-is-halting-its-plans-for-an-ico\/\">Disgraced Data Analytics Firm Cambridge Analytica Is Halting Its Plans for an ICO<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s true that the idea of a decentralized sharing economy may be less profitable than harvesting and selling user data. However, Facebook has given nobody any reason to believe that it will make a trustworthy financial services provider.<\/p>\n<p>The Taringa model could ultimately help Facebook to regain trust and restore the privacy of users across all of its platforms, which include Instagram and WhatsApp. Furthermore, it also means that the company could assure lawmakers that its blockchain plans are a clear departure from the data harvesting approach that\u2019s caused so many problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two weeks ago, it was announced that IOV Labs, the parent company of smart contract platform RSK, has acquired Latin American social media network, Taringa.
