Escaping Toxicity: The Emergence of New Platforms for Altered Social Interactions
In the digital age, where data privacy and ethical engagement are increasingly important concerns, two new micro-blogging networks are making waves: Qwice from France and New Place from Quebec. These platforms aim to offer responsible alternatives to traditional social networks.
While details about these platforms are still emerging, it is clear that they prioritize transparency, community-driven content moderation, and user privacy as key features. Qwice, for instance, emphasizes that it is the user who controls the algorithm, not the algorithm deciding what users see, as stated by Bruno Leralu, Qwice's president.
New Place, on the other hand, seems to have a more political ambition. With a belief that political representatives should not be entirely dependent on foreign platforms to address their constituents, the platform aims to provide a homegrown solution.
The economic models of these networks are designed to diversify revenue sources. They plan to generate income from cooperative members, individuals, corporations, ethical advertising, public funding, and external donors. Companies producing content of public utility will have lower entry fees on the network, while companies promoting products for profit will pay a higher price.
Registration for individuals will be free, but with limited access, requiring membership to post on the network. This model aims to maintain a high-quality user experience while ensuring that the network remains accessible to all.
Many acknowledge the magnitude of the task, but there is a shared belief that there's no other option but to embark on creating something new. Both Qwice and New Place refuse to use American services and value French-made and Quebec-made products, respectively.
Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has recently refused to comply with a new rule, blocking access to all information media accounts for Canadian users. This move has further highlighted the need for alternatives that prioritize user privacy and ethical engagement.
As these platforms continue to develop, it is essential to keep a close eye on their progress. For authoritative specifics, visiting their official websites or trusted tech news sources covering ethical social media innovations in France and Quebec is recommended.
