Although the company has been in headlines in previous years for hosting right-wing extremists, its new CEO hopes to shift the public’s view of MeWe.
The MeWe social networking application is seen on an Apple iPhone in this photo illustration in Warsaw, Poland on January 12, 2021. The alt-tech, light moderation social networking MeWe app is fast becoming the go-to alternative for the now banned Parler app. Parler was a"free speech" alternative to Twitter for many Trump supporters and other conservatives until it was removed from app stores following the storming of Capitol Hill on January 6.
According to Edell, MeWe also supports free speech if done in a respectful manner. After facing backlash as a hub for right-wing content that had been banned from Facebook, Edell says MeWe hired more people on its moderation team and also implemented AI that tracks and removes hate speech and language that calls for violence. The platform also now bans accounts that sell guns, a decision for which Edell said he’s received a lot of pushback.
“Every platform out there, I don't care who it is, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok they all have their issues,” he says. “I found that the issue was not as widespread as previously thought about.” “We’re finding that what we do resonates with people out there and people don't even know we exist,” Edell tellsSo it's a continuation of getting a marketing push to get the information out there of who MeWe is, and what we stand for.”
