I have a dream of giving people power over their own digital selfs and digital memories, I imagine a world where the transmiter is a third party that cant influence the messege. Comunication is the base for everything, and people should be free to communicate without fear.

More on point, people should offer a third party access to a specific folder of their digital self, with the freedom to revoke at any time. This third party can be responsible for distribution and payment for access, taking a % over the owner.

I have something build in this direcrion that I use myself with some more users, but it really needs a proper modularization of code to achieve the desired anonimity and freedon, right now it runs on a pretty standard stack that the plataform own the user dars intead of the user landing the plataform access to his data. If you want acceess to expsriment please let me know so I can personally aothorize you.

Lets keep buildin things as the alsome comunity espécies de humana are!

Sounds like you're looking for Nostr!

Thanks for the answer, I'm checking it out.

I was thinking of a system where each user has its own object storage and autorize the Social Networks - SN access to it, behind the scenes the SN fetches each user files from different sources and the user can revoke access at any point.

This would require a client front-end, a object storage backend, a SN front-end and back-end.

SNs becomes a place to agregate and search for eachothers data in different ways, how this data is agregated presented ranked etc its the job of each SN, people could peak and choose where they want to present their data. People could make their own unique SN if they feel like it.
