It just became one and welcomed them with open arms. The right-wing surge on the platform was first noticed in 2019 after Facebook started <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2019\/mar\/05\/anti-vaxx-propaganda-internet-tech\"><\/a> on vaccine misinformation. Many different types of conspiracy theorists, such as the anti-vaxxers, started joining the site, likely due to the strong anti-Facebook rhetoric pushed by the site.<\/p>\n<p>Now, MeWe is experiencing a boom just like Parler as pro-Trump supporters boycott Facebook and Twitter over their anti-misinformation policies in the aftermath of Trump\u2019s defeat in the election.<\/p>\n<p>It should also be noted that unlike Parler, MeWe does have users who aren\u2019t conservative. It\u2019s not even all about politics like it is with Parler. There are MeWe groups for supporters of the Green Party, groups for dog and cat lovers, and arts and music groups, to name a few. However, the most active users on the site seem to be there to discuss conservative politics.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_MeWe_%E2%80%9Ccensor%E2%80%9D_users\"><\/span>Does MeWe &#8220;censor&#8221; users?\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Users joining MeWe over the past few days are met with a message by its founder, Mark Weinstein, promoting the site&#8217;s rules.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo Ads, No Targeting, No Political Bias, No Newsfeed Manipulation, and No BS!\u201d reads Weinstein\u2019s post.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image\"><picture><source loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 280w,(max-width: 400px) 356w,(max-width: 700px) 638w,950w\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mondrian.mashable.com\/uploads%252Fcard%252Fimage%252F1572567%252F4ead75b2-cb9c-4da6-939e-f920b3c29641.webp%252Ffull-fit-in__280x157.webp?signature=MmTppA_Mr6EeTRsJKznerrvAK0E=&amp;source=https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com 280w,https:\/\/mondrian.mashable.com\/uploads%252Fcard%252Fimage%252F1572567%252F4ead75b2-cb9c-4da6-939e-f920b3c29641.webp%252Ffull-fit-in__356x205.webp?signature=5z2mnmohff3fSeWJ-5MOHGxUM6w=&amp;source=https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com 356w,https:\/\/mondrian.mashable.com\/uploads%252Fcard%252Fimage%252F1572567%252F4ead75b2-cb9c-4da6-939e-f920b3c29641.webp%252Ffull-fit-in__638x368.webp?signature=n84Xr77n_KU8KrWPJ_FibHiFj00=&amp;source=https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com 638w,https:\/\/mondrian.mashable.com\/uploads%252Fcard%252Fimage%252F1572567%252F4ead75b2-cb9c-4da6-939e-f920b3c29641.webp%252Ffull-fit-in__950x534.webp?signature=2hXBN7qVGkRniX9d6gRf3dm_U2U=&amp;source=https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com 950w\" type=\"image\/webp\"><source loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 280w,(max-width: 400px) 356w,(max-width: 700px) 638w,950w\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mondrian.mashable.com\/uploads%252Fcard%252Fimage%252F1572567%252F4ead75b2-cb9c-4da6-939e-f920b3c29641.png%252Ffull-fit-in__280x157.png?signature=39QM5BNh1RLAEj0DA5HCPQi4VA4=&amp;source=https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com 280w,https:\/\/mondrian.mashable.com\/uploads%252Fcard%252Fimage%252F1572567%252F4ead75b2-cb9c-4da6-939e-f920b3c29641.png%252Ffull-fit-in__356x205.png?signature=HSTpwv_MXm3--Y67bUK0KMBrDmc=&amp;source=https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com 356w,https:\/\/mondrian.mashable.com\/uploads%252Fcard%252Fimage%252F1572567%252F4ead75b2-cb9c-4da6-939e-f920b3c29641.png%252Ffull-fit-in__638x368.png?signature=-j32ezUFg2H_eV-GyJzkVKu6g7Q=&amp;source=https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com 638w,https:\/\/mondrian.mashable.com\/uploads%252Fcard%252Fimage%252F1572567%252F4ead75b2-cb9c-4da6-939e-f920b3c29641.png%252Ffull-fit-in__950x534.png?signature=6hXQgHz00Y7uVQXgP7HX_tmXlgc=&amp;source=https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com 950w\" type=\"image\/png\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"What is MeWe?

Obviously, there\u2019s the usual ban on unlawful conduct and content. But, the social network\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mewe.com\/terms\"><\/a> also ban \u201cobscene or pornographic content\u201d as well as impersonating someone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re just a regular person from around the world who has a political point of view and you\u2019re abiding by our terms of service, that\u2019s none of our business\u2026[but] if you\u2019re a conservative or a liberal and you\u2019re spewing hate, you\u2019re gonna be out,\u201d Weinstein told <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/culture\/culture-features\/mewe-anti-vaxxers-conspiracy-theorists-822746\/\"><em><\/em><\/a> last year.<\/p>\n<p>Weinstein also told the magazine that there were no policies banning misinformation or fake news, which he categorizes as just \u201copinion.\u201d There\u2019s lots of  content on MeWe, for example.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, Weinstein also stressed that MeWe does not allow the promotion of groups on its platform, meaning users have to actually seek out the content. Ironically, this is  with many types of groups spreading misinformation concerning topics like health. Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s network allows the content to exist, but it does not promote it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_MeWe_different_from_Facebook_Twitter_and_Reddit\"><\/span>How is MeWe different from Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit?\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unlike Parler, MeWe isn\u2019t trying to replicate every other social media site. Weinstein\u2019s intent seems pretty clear in the marketing of the site and in his interviews: MeWe wants to be the alternative to Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>This probably explains why the site tries to replicate Facebook\u2019s user interface. Users can give thumbs up, hearts, and smiley faces to posts. They can share posts to their various feeds. There are user profiles and separate pages, as well as a groups feature for people to congregate around a specific topic.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is all set up very similar to how it is on Facebook, down to the messiness of the UI. However, MeWe\u2019s design does make it feel like the whole platform was bought off one of those sites that sell turnkey website solutions so you too can be the next Mark Zuckerberg!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_the_future_of_MeWe\"><\/span>What&#8217;s the future of MeWe?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>MeWe is currently the second most downloaded free social networking app on Apple\u2019s App Store.

However, just like with Parler\u2019s numbers, it pales in comparison to Facebook\u2019s 2.7 billion users or even Twitter\u2019s 330 million users.<\/p>\n<p>MeWe faces many of the same challenges any startup social media companies faces today: keeping users engaged on the site when everyone they know is on the more popular platforms.<\/p>\n<p>However difficult MeWe\u2019s growth will be, it may be financially in a place to compete.<\/p>\n<p>The platform <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/labusinessjournal.com\/news\/2018\/jul\/07\/facebook-alternative-mewe-raises-52m\/\"><\/a> $5.2 million in 2018, bringing its total funding to $10 million, with backing from celebrity investors such as fashion designer Rachel Roy and Lynda.com founder, Lynda Weinman.

But, as MeWe\u2019s platform fills with Trump supporters, MeWe\u2019s success may rest on one man: President Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has yet to join any of these alternative social networks. However, he&#8217;s about to lose many of the  he receives from platforms like Twitter that allow him to spread harmful misinformation without being banned, so he may have to soon join one.<\/p>\n<p>MeWe may think it&#8217;s competing with Facebook, but the real competition appears to be with Parler, in a race to get Trump to join the one conservative social network to rule them all.<br \/>\n<script>      window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() { window._msla=window.loadScriptAsync||function(src,id){if(document.getElementById(id))return;var js=document.createElement('script');js.id=id;js.src=src;document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0].parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);};});\nwindow.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() { _msla(\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\",\"twitter_jssdk\");});<\/script><\/section>\n<p><span class=\"author_name\">By Matt Binder<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more News articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/general\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">General <\/a><\/span>category.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/mashable.com\/article\/what-is-mewe-network-explainer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#What is MeWe?
