eYou, a new social media platform founded by two French entrepreneurs active for decades in Romania, has announced a €300,000 pre-seed funding from Fil Rouge.

Integrated fact-checking

The platform aims to integrate real-time fact-checking directly into the user experience, with the goal of providing a more reliable alternative to platforms like X and Facebook. The public launch is scheduled for May 2026.

Context

Disinformation and fake news have become a growing challenge for social media platforms. The integration of fact-checking tools aims to address this problem, providing users with a more accurate context for the information they consume. eYou's initiative is part of a growing focus on information quality and the responsibility of online platforms.
