Some critical problems with current social networks

Selling or sharing your private messages and contacts details to other companies.
'Dark patterns' designed to intentionally cause addiction so that you can be shown more and more ads.
Racism and anti-Indian posts - hostility toward Indians in many online platforms posts and comments.
They may ban you at any time, even without any valid or real reasons, and without any practical recourse. They even take down posts made by legitimate Prime Minister or President of countries, so common people have not much practical options if you get shut out of platform.
Most of the existing social platforms are based on USA and subject to its mass surveillance. USA also has a long history of overthrowing even democratically elected governments and causing violence and suffering. In modern times this is mostly done by propaganda narratives pushed via social media they control.
Harvested user data is used to build granular behavioral profiles, allowing foreign actors to micro-target vulnerable people with tailored content that can cause harm personally, socially, morally or culturally, for greedy profits or as part of foreign imperialist agendas.
Facebook (now Meta) faces intense scrutiny for enabling political interference, misinformation, and societal polarization worldwide. Internal whistleblowers and investigations revealed that the platform's core algorithms favor anger and engagement, giving high visibility to hate speech, conspiracy theories, and inflammatory rhetoric.
