Social media was originally established to connect people. But it has now fuelled unprecedented isolation and division. It has damaged democracy, exploited creators and publishers and stripped people of value.

Addictive algorithms control what people see and how people feel, forcing more ads and less friends into our feeds, so the tech giants can make even more money. This has turned humanity into the largest unconscious and unpaid workforce in human history.

Not on our watch.

Does the world need another social platform like the others? Absolutely not.

Do billions of people need a social home that protects them from toxic content and controlling algorithms, where everyone benefits because advertiser revenue is shared with people, communities, and charities? Absolutely!
