What is VITAE ? 

VITAE is a new social media platform that was still in the so-called beta phase or under construction. 

However, the social media platform VITAE would be opened to the general public after the summer of 2021.

After the public launch, anyone would be able to join this new social media platform for free.

VITAE distinguishes itself from existing social media

platforms, by five specific properties:

• Freedom of speech (within the limits of the law)

• No sale of users' personal data

• An ad-free timeline (no ads, no behavioural modification algorithms)

• Containment of fake news (by the community)

• An attractive mechanism to generate income, based on your

  activities on the platform.

  WHAT MAKES “VITAE” DIFFERENT FROM EXISTING SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS?

Quote from Yanis Varoufakis in his book ‘TECHNO FEUDALISM’

“Every time we go online to enjoy the services of these algorithms, we have no option but to cut a Faustian deal with their owners. To use the personalised services their algorithms provide, we must submit to a business model based on the harvesting of our data, the tracking of our activity, the invisible curating of our content. Once we have submitted to this, the algorithm goes into the business of selling things to us while selling our attention to others. At that point something more profound kicks in which gives the algorithm’s owners immense power – to predict our behaviours, to guide our preferences, to influence our decisions, to change our minds, to thereby reduce us to their unpaid servants, whose job is to provide our information, our attention, our identity and above all the patterns of behaviour that train their algorithms.”

Quote from Asma Mhalla in her book ‘TECHNOPOLITIQUE’
“Put through the algorithmic mill, data becomes information and then an instrument of power.”
 

… VITAE IS ANYTHING BUT WHAT THESE QUOTES SAYS
