What will be the next big thing in social networks? What are your thoughts? Local neighbors network? No-interface social networks? Peer-to-peer? Anonymous social networks? Video based (YouTube/Twitch)? Messanger-only? No central news-feed?

I have the next big thing. If you know javascript and the ionic framework, I would to partner up with you. Or if you have money to put down. I'm ready to pitch.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I have a 3 year old and he has no photo (that I know of) in facebook. Both me and my wife don't post anything online (also don't have FB) and if I find any family member/friend posting a picture of my son online, they will have picture taking permissions revoked. Also, there are a lot of people like us where I live.

What's your aim in doing this? For what reason? Surely your family and acquaintances and people in the street are free - depending where you live (?) - to take pictures. So you're going to have to police all of those images in perpetuity to prevent images from appearing online. The likelihood is that when they're a teenager they'll put their lives online themselves in some way ... so? If your child goes on a playdate…

Aim/Reason: I don't really trust facebook/google, but more importantly, if he decides when he is 14-15 to put his photos online, it will be his decision. Also, growing up, baby/young pictures were usually something would use to make fun of each other.

As for the other people taking photos, sure, if he is in the background there is not much we can do, but other places (nursery or school or even playdates) can't by law do that and to be fair, those places we tend to hand pick them and they do share this with us.
