The internet has a memory that never fades, and for most social media companies, that memory is a goldmine. Every “like,” every scroll, and every private message is bundled up and sold to the highest bidder.
At mewe, we think that’s not just creepy, we think it’s a violation of your fundamental rights.
As we kick off Data Privacy Week 2026 (January 26–30), it’s time to move past the “I have nothing to hide” excuse and start asking: “Why is my data being used against me?”
Privacy by Design: The mewe Difference
Most platforms were built to track you. They use “Privacy by Design” as a buzzword, but their business models depend on surveillance. mewe was built differently from the first line of code.
We operate under a Privacy Bill of Rights that guarantees:
- No Targeting: We don’t use algorithms to manipulate you.
- No Spyware: We don’t track your activity across the web or “listen” to your conversations.
- You Own Your Content: Your photos, videos, and posts belong to you, not us.
When you use mewe, you aren’t the product. You are a member of a community.
For one week only, new mewe users can take control for just $1.99
We believe privacy should be the default for everyone, which is why mewe will always be free to use. However, to celebrate Data Privacy Week, we want to give everyone the chance to experience the full power of a premium, member-supported social network.
For a limited time, non-premium mewe users can get mewe Premium for just $1.99.
