Abstract: The EU Blockchain Observatory and Forum is proud to announce the release of a comprehensive report titled "Decentralized Social Media". This highly anticipated report delves into the emerging landscape of decentralized social media platforms, offering a deep analysis of their impact, challenges, and potential within the digital space. In recent years, the landscape of social media platforms has been subject to continuous evolution, closely mirroring the development of web technologies. As the emergence of Web 3.0 approaches, a new era of social media is poised to reshape the future of the internet. At its core, social media platforms are designed to facilitate communication between users, and a recently published report delves into the technological foundations of both traditional and decentralised social media platforms. The report, titled "Decentralised Social Media" investigates the intricate workings of social media platforms, shedding light on the diverse approaches to decentralisation. Notably, the report distinguishes between projects rooted in the free software movement and those integrating blockchain solutions. While both share the goal of decentralisation, their philosophies differ significantly.
