A Supreme Court Case Could Kill Facebook and Other Socials — Allowing Blockchain to Replace Them

The internet — arguably the greatest invention in human history — has gone awry. We can all feel it. It is harder than ever to tell if we are engaging with friends or foes (or bots), we know we are being constantly surveilled in the name of better ad conversion, and we live in constant fear of clicking something and being defrauded.


The failures of the internet largely stem from the inability of large tech monopolies — particularly Google and Facebook — to verify and protect our identities. Why don’t they?

The answer is that they have no incentive to do so. In fact, the status quo suits them, thanks to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, passed by the United States Congress in 1996.


But things may be about to change. This term, the Supreme Court will hear Gonzalez v. Google, a case that has the potential to reshape or even eliminate Section 230. It is hard to envision a scenario where it wouldn't kill the social media platforms we use today. That would present a golden opportunity for blockchain technology to replace them.

The Role Of Gen Z In The Rise Of The Virtual World

The virtual world is quickly becoming the new normal, with technology becoming ever more prominent in our lives. It has become increasingly clear that Generation Z – those born between 1997 and 2012 – is playing a key role in driving this change.


From their preference for online communication to their embrace of emerging tech, Gen Z is shaping the virtual world we live in. By understanding how Gen Z is driving the virtual world, we can better prepare for the future.


One of the most significant ways Gen Z is helping to shape the virtual world is through their preference for online communication. With the rise of social media, Gen Z has developed an affinity for online communication, which has changed the way we communicate. This is important because it is paving the way for a future of virtual communication, where people can interact with each other without being in the same physical space. [Source: NewsBTC]


Ethereum Developers Target March 2023 for Shanghai Hard Fork

According to a discussion at the 151st Ethereum Core Developers Meeting on Dec. 8, core programmers have set a tentative deadline of March 2023 for Ethereum's Shanghai hard fork. In addition, developers will aim for May or June 2023 to launch the Ethereum Improvement Protocol (EIP) 4844 upgrade that will introduce proto-danksharding to the network.


Although the much-anticipated proof-of-stake Merge upgrade was completed on Sept. 15, staked Ether (stETH) is currently locked. The token itself was created by decentralized finance protocol Lido, with close to 3.5 million stETH ($4.48 billion) in circulation. stETH users can only withdraw their funds along with any applicable staking rewards for validating network transactions after the Shanghai upgrade, . The Ethereum Foundation said that it structured the upgrades in this manner to “simplify and maximize focus on a successful transition to proof-of-stake.”


After the hard fork, the EIP-4844 upgrade is designed to introduce a new data-blob-transaction prototype previously invented by developers on Feb. 21, 2022. Currently, layer-2 technologies such as Optimistic Rollups can move Ethereum computation and network storage off-chain to improve scalability by 10x to 100x. Developers anticipate that introducing large portable bundles that can contain cheaper data in Ethereum transactions can improve the capacity of rollups by up to 100x. However, while the upgrade will lower the transaction fees on layer-2 solutions, it will not affect Ethereum gas fees. [Source: Cointelegraph]


First EUR-pegged Regulated Stablecoin Inches Closer to Release

Päivinen took to Twitter to announce the creation of EUROe, the first ever regulatory-compliant and fully licensed stablecoin project in the EU countries pegged to fiat Euro.

"As some of you may have noticed, @EUROemoney announced the first EU regulated EUR stablecoin today. We started this journey at @equilibrium_co with @juhaviitala almost two years ago and while this is just the beginning, I'd like to share some of the journey so far. 🧵"

— Teemu π (@teemupai) December 9, 2022


As per his statement, the upcoming stablecoin project is a brainchild of his Web3 infrastructure team Equilibrium Labs. Initially, it was designed as a EUR-pegged stablecoin for in-project technical operations required for its progress.


As the team was operating in the European Union, it badly needed a EUR-pegged asset. "Being stuck" using USD-pegged stablecoins or EUR-based assets with overseas regulation was not an option for Päivinen's team.


With the emergence of the much-criticized Markets in Crypto Assets regulation (MiCA) regulatory framework, Equilibrium Labs moved to build a pioneering MiCA-compliant asset based on Euro. That is why the team raised €2 million in seed funding from Helsinki-based Maki Ventures and is going to present EUROe as soon as early 2023. [Source: Crypto News]
