Ethical Social: Social Media That Doesn't Suck

Hey everyone, Thanks for checking out the launch of Ethical Social. This has been a project a long time running for me. I work in data security and protection and it's has been a passion project of sorts. I was really inspired after watching the Netflix documentary "The Social Dilemma", as think that showed the world that we truly need to change how social media companies are run. I also find the work of the Center for Human Technology inspiring and very necessary, and I hope Ethical aligns with their philosophies. All-in-all I am aiming for Ethical to be a social media app that is just about the social aspect, and below is why I believe Ethical is different from others in the space. We won't suck your data. We won't sell ads, we won't sell your profile data, we have no interest in building profiles about users. Our business model has nothing to do with any of that, because we will have a monthly subscription model of USD6.99 per month. We just want to be a place where you can socialize and connect with people. We won't suck as a part of the global community. We actually want to make social media a force for good. We will donate 50% of all profits made to charity every year. We also want to be democratic about this, so we will put a collection of charities out for a vote to members of our community. The charities the community chooses together will be the ones we donate to. We won't suck joy from your life. We have noticed that social media has become an issue for society. It seems to be creating a bigger divide between people, rather than forming a connection. We believe this might be because the social media algorithms push more and more content at you, so that you stay online longer and view more ads. We don't sell ads, we just have the small monthly fee, so you can spend as much or as little time on Ethical as you like. We won't be pushing content at you just to make sure we maximize ad revenue. We just want you to connect with friends, share ideas and be a part of our community.
