The Decentralists
As big tech continues to exploit our personal data—more than ever, people are demanding control of their digital lives and asserting their self-sovereign identity. The solution is a decentralized Internet—and we are here to talk about all things decentralized. The Decentralists is a podcast about social media, privacy, and self-sovereign identity. The Decentralists is hosted by Michael Cholod, Henry Karpus, and Geoff Glave.

The US General Election has just ended (kinda), and we are chomping at the bit to talk about it.

What does this mean for the Internet?
What happens next regarding the regulation of Big Tech?

You may be seeing red or feeling blue but no matter how you feel, this ain’t over yet!
