New social networks compete with Facebook

This network is supported by the Hacktivist Anonymous team, which encrypts all messages, shielding data to overcome control from government organizations and advertisers.

Minds.com appears similar to any other social network. It provides a person's personal page with the latest updates, allowing their friends to comment and post articles.

But the big difference that exists behind Minds.com's way of doing business is not intended to benefit from data collection but will encrypt all messages so that the government or advertisers can't read. .

This social network will reward users for interacting with the article. This can be done by the number of ' likes ', comments or the number of posts posted.

In addition, Minds.com is completely open source , allowing anyone to contribute to the design and maintenance of this social network. "Our view is that users deserve control of the media and society with every meaning," founder Bill Ottman told Business Insider.

"Before the official launch, the site had 60 million views," Ottman said. Many of the customers used are " interested in alternative media", with benefits such as online freedom and citizen journalism.
