communicate, to the user computing device, the content received from the plurality of remote servers;

create a first digital envelope for content, the first digital envelope comprising a digital template for posting the content within a social media post;

store the first digital envelope within a social media platform storage medium;

store the content within a third-party user-controlled cloud storage account; and

in response to receiving a repost indication from another user, create a second digital envelope but not replicating the content.

2. The computer system as recited in claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of remote servers is controlled by a different user of the decentralized user controlled social media platform.

3. The computer system as recited in claim 1 , wherein each unique remote server authentication token is associated with a different user of the decentralized user controlled social media platform.

4. The computer system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the executable instructions include instructions that are executable to configure the computer system to:

receive a data file, from the user computing device, for upload into the decentralized user controlled social media platform;

identify a particular unique remote server authentication token associated with the user account;

access, through a network connection a particular remote server selected from the plurality of remote servers, wherein the particular remote server is accessed using the particular unique remote server authentication token; and

upload the data file to the particular remote server.

5. The computer system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the executable instructions include instructions that are executable to configure the computer system to:

receive a registration request, the registration request comprising a unique remote server authentication token associated with a remote server storage account;

associate a unique remote server authentication token associated with the remote server storage account with a user account within a user specified cloud computer infrastructure; and

display a page on a social media platform, the page comprising information from the remote server storage account.

6. The computer system as recited in claim 5 , wherein the unique remote server authentication token may be associated a remote server storage account associated with any one of a set of remote server providers.

7. The computer system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the executable instructions include instructions that are executable to configure the computer system to:

create encrypted URLs including content location and credentials; and

update the encrypted URLs when a location of the content is changed by a user.

8. The computer system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the executable instructions include instructions that are executable to configure the computer system to:

receive parameters for a user filter for content screening;

execute a computer vision analysis on content within the decentralized user controlled social media platform based upon the parameters; and

save an encrypted filter controlled by a user within in a user's cloud infrastructure, wherein the encrypted filter comprises the parameters and variables associated with the computer vision analysis.

9. The computer system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the executable instructions include instructions that are executable to configure the computer system to:

establish a chaperone relationship between a first user and a second user;

receive user attributes for the second user;

implement a user-specific filter based upon the user attributes; and

when the user-specific filter identifies potentially objectionable content, display the potentially objectionable content to the first user.

10. A computer-implemented method, executed on one or more processors, for accessing a decentralized user controlled social media platform comprising:

receiving, from an user computing device, a user authentication token for the decentralized user controlled social media platform;

determining that the user authentication token is valid for access to a user account at the decentralized user controlled social media platform;

requesting, through a network connection, content from a plurality of remote servers, wherein each of the plurality of remote servers requires a unique remote server authentication token to access a portion of the content stored at the respective remote server;

communicating, to the user computing device, the content received from the plurality of remote servers;

creating a first digital envelope for content, the first digital envelope comprising a digital template for posting the content within a social media post;

storing the first digital envelope within a social media platform storage medium;

storing the content within a third-party user-controlled cloud storage account; and

in response to receiving a repost indication from another user, creating a second digital envelope but not replicating the content.

11. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 10 , wherein each of the plurality of remote servers is controlled by a different user of the decentralized user controlled social media platform.

12. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 10 , wherein each unique remote server authentication token is associated with a different user of the decentralized user controlled social media platform.

13. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 10 , further comprising:

receiving a data file, from the user computing device, for upload into the decentralized user controlled social media platform;

identifying a particular unique remote server authentication token associated with the user account;

accessing, through a network connection a particular remote server selected from the plurality of remote servers, wherein the particular remote server is accessed using the particular unique remote server authentication token; and

uploading the data file to the particular remote server.

14. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 10 , further comprising:

receiving a registration request, the registration request comprising a unique remote server authentication token associated with a remote server storage account;

associating a unique remote server authentication token associated with the remote server storage account with a user account within a user specified cloud computer infrastructure; and

displaying a page on a social media platform, the page comprising information from the remote server storage account.

15. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 14 , wherein the unique remote server authentication token may be associated a remote server storage account associated with any one of a set of remote server providers.

16. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 10 , further comprising:

creating encrypted URLs including content location and credentials; and

updating a URL when a location of the content is changed by a user.

17. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving parameters for a user filter for content screening;

execute a computer vision analysis on content within the decentralized user controlled social media platform based upon the parameters; and

saving an encrypted filter controlled by the user within in a user's cloud infrastructure, wherein the encrypted filter comprises the parameters and variables associated with the computer vision analysis.
