It’s pretty much everything from address, name and demographic data, to the browsing history, to the search history, to how many apps are running on their phones. They work on creating the most convenient products in the world, using their vast knowledge, and potential data. Google There’s very little Google doesn’t know. They’ve built their empire with hundreds of millions of users, and are currently able to collect a vast amount of information about the users, storing it securely. Google profiles you, and uses it to make targeted advertising. What internet computer does is not only decentralizes the internet, but advances the internet.
What does it mean for society?
It is also important to note the Dfinity Foundation’s approach of avoiding software patents, instead relying on P2P to do everything.

Conclusion
Whether you think I’m right about these predictions is for you to decide. And the questions remain – Is there a decentralized way of creating a credible reputation network? If there is, where is this system today? Are there decentralized reputation sites that work and what’s their credibility rating? Are decentralized reputation projects effectively solving the problems that’s left behind the current reputation systems?
