The 10 best Facebook alternatives for Android and iOS are here! Whether you’re part of the #DeleteFacebook crowd or the ‘Time Well Spent’ movement, these are your best alternatives to the world’s largest social network. Facebook has dominated the social-media landscape for the past 15 years. But breaches of its users’ privacy mean it is now slipping out of favour. Could an emerging technological movement take its place?

Facebook hasn’t been very fun for the last few years. From political fighting to fake news to privacy concerns and Cambridge Analytica data-breach row, many users are logging on less and others are deleting their accounts!

For those who primarily use Facebook today but are looking for alternatives, here are the 10 Best Alternatives according to online use and popularity for Android and iOS:

  • Twitter (Android, iOS)
  • Instagram (Android, iOS)
  • Snapchat (Android, iOS)
  • Pinterest (Android, iOS)
  • LinkedIn (Android, iOS)
  • Nextdoor (Android, iOS)
  • Vero (Android, iOS)
  • Minds.com (Android, iOS)
  • MeWe (Android, iOS)
  • Ello (Android, iOS)

Time Well Spent and #DeleteFacebook movements are just the beginning
Time Well Spent is a nonprofit organization which seeks to reverse what they call the “digital attention crisis”, caused by technology companies designing mobile devices and social media features in order to capture as much attention as possible, regardless of their impact on users’ quality of life.

A public-interest algorithm

#CambridgeAnalytica

To truly reimagine a platform like Facebook, we need to reimagine its algorithm. As Facebook has shown us, social media sites have huge power to alter our consumer preferences, spur or hinder extremism, and sway our emotions with tweaks of code. But today their algorithms function as secret recipes that serve private interests.

Is Facebook Dying?

One thing is for certain…
Facebook is too big and hard to fail.

It should be better to change – improve it!

#EUvsDisinfo

Disinformation is an evolving challenge, with high potential to negatively influence democratic processes and societal debates. Its increasingly adverse effects on society across the European Union call for a coordinated, joint and sustainable approach to comprehensively counter it.

EU Action Plan against

Disinformation

Online platforms have submitted a first implementation report setting out the state of play of the measures taken by each of them to comply with their commitments under the Code of Practice on Disinformation. The European Commission welcomed these actions but calls on online platforms to intensify their efforts in the run up to the 2019 European elections.
The monitoring of the Code of Practice is part of the Action Plan against disinformation that the European Union adopted last December to build up capabilities and strengthen cooperation between Member States and EU institutions to proactively address the threats posed by disinformation.

  • Improve Detection, Analysis and Exposure of disinformation
  • Stronger cooperation and joint responses to disinformation
  • Mobilise private sector to Tackle disinformation
  • Raise awareness and improve societal resilience

Fake News – Fake Videos – Disinformation

The EU steps up action against disinformation
