## Why |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Values of privacy and freedom are diminishing in modern software. Even more so in social media software. Users are now |
|
|
|
called to decide between being the product of companies that sell their personal information for gain and being shut out |
|
|
|
of the modern, digital society. |

The value of privacy, freedom of speech and democracy are diminishing in modern software. Even more so in social media |
|
|
|
platforms. Users are called to select between being the product of companies that sell their personal information and |
|
|
|
being shut out of the modern, digital society. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Concordia, much like other projects of this kind, provides an alternative to this predicament. |

## How |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
TODO |
|
|
|
Concordia uses decentralized technologies, namely the Ethereum blockchain and its smart contracts, as well as the |
|
|
|
distributed database OrbitDB that's based on the decentralized network IPFS. These technologies make Concordia |
|
|
|
impervious to censorship and guaranty the immutability of user information and anonymity while enabling user |
|
|
|
authentication that makes trusted, direct voting possible. |
|
