    MacVoices #26229: Macstock - Using Blockchain to Protect and Preserve Creator Content withAlessandra White Aug 10, 2026
    Show notes

    At Macstock, Alessandra White explains how blockchain can give creators greater control and permanence over their digital content. She discusses Hive, decentralized publishing, digital sovereignty, and ways creators can preserve posts and videos beyond centralized platforms. The conversation also examines blockchain's permanence, including the trade-off that published material cannot simply be deleted…ever.

    This MacVoices is supported by our new MacVoices series, Foreshadowing Tech, that examines the effect of media depictions of tech and tech culture on real-world tech, and how real-world has affected technology depictions in the media. Check it out at http://macvoices.com/foreshadowingtech.
