Take control of your data and help build a better internet.
On the current internet, your data is used for commercial gain and stored in energy hungry data centers owned by tech giants. Outside your view and control.
The decentralized internet of ThreeFold offers the real alternative. This technology gives you control over your digital life. YourData Network helps you use it and build on it.
Why the internet isn’t ours anymore. And how that affects you
What you do, where you go, what you click. It’s all tracked and stored by tech giants you know but can’t control. They know everything about you, while you know almost nothing about what happens with your data.
Meanwhile, 75% of adults feel tech companies have too much control over their data.
All this data flows into ever-growing data centers that run and cool 24/7, consuming enormous amounts of energy and harming the planet.
Fortunately there’s another way: the decentralized internet by ThreeFold already works and solves these problems. YourData Network makes it easy to use and help build it.
No control by Big Tech, but an internet for and by people.
Secure, fair, and drastically more energy-efficient.
