Data is the new oil. And in Web2, the control of personal data is in the hands of service providers. Despite various attempts by legislators to enforce strict regulations—through GDPR or California’s CCPA—the management of personal data is still an issue to be solved.

Skynet Labs is building the infrastructure that allows users to own their personal data, to have a persistent identity across apps, and to resist censorship.

Join Skynet Labs’ CEO David Vorick in a fireside chat hosted by Cardstack’s Founding Director Chris Tse on April 7, 2022 at 9:00 am EDT. In an interactive session, they will discuss the role Skynet Labs plays in building the infrastructure needed to decentralize the Internet and put the control of data back into the hands of users.

The fireside chat will focus on these central points:

Web2 is the Internet era defined by products and services from large centralized companies aka FAANG (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google). Those platforms invest significantly in sales and marketing teams as part of their GTM (go-to-market) strategy to generate leads and acquire & retain customers. One of the big problems with Web2 is that the vast majority of accrued value goes to the platform itself, not to the creators who are doing the work and thus should be earning that money.

From the early days of Web1’s static text and images to the rise of the centralized platforms dominating our current Web2 space, the Internet has remained impressively innovative. In the last few years, our world has begun embracing Web3, a new mode of the Internet that emphasizes decentralized transactions, distributed ownership, and open governance.
