RE: EU-Style Social Media Platform against Tech Bros?

Think not really dangerous but doubt the potential - two of the founders work in the same marekting / ad agency and seem to position themselves as good humans, all from Berlin (no surprise) and wanto to protect the youth - it is for profit but no real background on tech, hosting, algo, monetarization etc. - also beta starting in March, slow. Adding yourself to waiting list: boring, and only with your ID you are eligible to join / contribute.

On a different post I read that:

Wedium’s approach in detail

• Real identities: Only verified users are allowed to create or comment on content
• European data sovereignty: Hosting and data protection aligned with strict EU standards (GDPR-compliant)
• Youth protection via parental linkage: Child accounts are only possible through verified parent profiles
• Fair monetization: Creators are intended to participate directly in generated revenues
• Support for quality journalism: Transparent content structures and verified sources

They got some media coverage from solid publications in Germany but i just see a nice try from Germans in Berlin, claiming it EU is a bit too much but we will see.

Here in a marketing media (German though):
