D.Buzz is a micro-blogging platform similar to Twitter that allows users to create account, join a community and conversations, and post their own content to the Hive Blockchain.

According to Chris Rice (@chrisrice) and his co-founder Nathan Seen (@nathansenn), D.Buzz's mission is to promote freedom of speech and the rights to users, with a little help from blockchain technology.
D.Buzz featured a censorship resistant technology, with such freedom and resistance from big tech giants, D.Buzz users or what we called as Buzzers could witness that with D.Buzz censorship resistance is king and users are always in control.
The creation of D.Buzz was made possible after the founders, from DataLoft LLC, Chris Rice and Nathan Seen realized that advanced content delivery algorithms used by big social media companies have drawn a razor-thin line between these companies are defined as platforms or publishers, these two terms alone carry a unique legal implications.
In a video uploaded by Market Square they explained the difference between platforms and publishers. Market Square stated that big social media appears to be presenting themselves as platforms, public forums, which in turns they were protected from certain liabilities under the US Communications Decency Act.
However, these platforms are also engaging in what is known as "Algorithmic Censorship," a practice that would technically classify them as publishers, disqualifying them from CDA protections.
In the opinion presented by Market Square, it appears that these big social media companies allegedly appears that they want to trick you into thinking you have a fair and equal voice while simulataneously subjecting you to algorithms governed by their views and agendas.
