The system I have chosen is entitled Diaspora, a distributed social network. I chose Diaspora to explore the feasibility of a social network that implements no central authority. First is the technical challenges of setting up and maintaining a pod. Secondly, I will explore how pods interact with each other, and how clients interact with clients of the same and different pods. Finally, I will test the social control capabilities of Diaspora, by creating a "troll" user (or enlisting a troll) and see how that goes.
