Europe deserves its own social network.
American platforms dominate our digital public square — setting rules, harvesting data, and pushing addictive content. It's time Europe builds something better, democratic, and ours.

Five principles for a European social network
We don't want another Silicon Valley clone. We want something Europe can be proud of.
Genuinely European
Headquartered in Europe, owned by Europeans, governed under EU law. A truly sovereign digital infrastructure built for 450 million citizens.
Democratic by Design
Content moderation follows European law — the Digital Services Act, freedom of expression protections, and democratic accountability.
No Addictive Algorithms
Information ranked by relevance and importance — not by what keeps you scrolling. Your feed serves you, not advertisers.
Privacy First
Full GDPR compliance by default. No data sold, no shadow profiles, no cross-site tracking. Your data stays in Europe, under European rules.
Nonprofit Structure
Funded by subscriptions, grants, and European public investment — not advertising. No profit motive means no incentive to exploit your attention.
Digital Sovereignty
Europe must stop being dependent on American platforms that can pull the plug or change the rules overnight. Strategic independence starts here.
The digital public square cannot stay American forever.
- ⚡ American platforms shape European elections. From disinformation to algorithmic amplification of extremism — foreign-owned social networks have a documented impact on European democracy.
- 🛡️ European laws need European platforms to enforce them. The DSA and GDPR are world-class regulations, but enforcing them on foreign giants is an uphill battle. A European platform would implement them natively.
- 📉 Addictive design is a public health issue. Engagement-maximising algorithms are linked to anxiety, polarisation, and declining trust in institutions.
- 💶 Billions of European data euros flow to the US. Every ad click, every profile, every conversation — monetised for Wall Street shareholders. A nonprofit European network keeps that value on the continent.
- 🤝 We already did it with Airbus, CERN, and Galileo. When Europe cooperates on infrastructure, it beats the world. A European social network is the digital-age equivalent — and it's overdue.
