Can someone please explain this to me like I'm 5? I get what tokens are but I still don't understand it.

Traditionally say I have a php/mysql site, that's on a server, say Digital Ocean and files are uploaded to Amazon storage.

How does that translate to Etheruem? What about private messages? If everything is public on the block chain, isn't that an issue? Does Etheruem run code?

Can anyone point me to some reading on this? And how to create a 'decentralized' social network?

This is the future and I'd like to get a handle on it, thanks!
