The EU wants it to become an alternative to YouTube

“It’s not like Twitter, which is controlled by a single company. The multitude of servers offered by Mastodon allows users to protect their personal information and prevents one company from controlling all the data,” explains Maxence Marius , CEO of Eskimoz Spain.

The same is true for EU Video , which runs on Peertube, a decentralized platform based on open source software , so it is not controlled by a single company. for uploading and playing podcasts and videos.

Marius says that the development of these social networks “marks a turning point, because it reflects the intention of the European Union to break away from the American technology qatar phone data companies. If they manage to win over users, it will be a real blow to Twitter and YouTube,” he believes. He also believes that it responds to the needs of users who “are increasingly concerned about who controls their data and what they do with it.”

Will the introduction of paid versions of Instagram and Facebook and the development of EU Voice and EU Video disrupt the status quo of social media in Europe? Getting us to switch from one social network to another is difficult, as their success relies on the mass of active users.

Moreover, the platforms developed by the EU, as they stand, could perhaps replace Twitter or YouTube, but they do not seem to be an alternative to Instagram or Facebook , so it seems unlikely that they will challenge the current order, at least in the short term.
