eYou

microblogging · beta · since May 2026

People post text, photos and videos, follow accounts, react and join groups; every post gets an automatic AI fact-check score, and a news tab carries fact-checked wire copy.

How it is run

nine questions
ArchitectureWho holds your account and posts?

One company

open protocol: no

move your account and keep your followers: no

hub: eYou.Social j.d.o.o.

Posts live only on eYou's own API; the AT Protocol is only a sign-in option, which gives eYou a user's identity and email. There is no account migration; the privacy policy offers only a GDPR data export.

Business modelWho pays, and for what?

No revenue yet

eYou charges nothing and carries no advertising, by its terms, and states no monetisation plan; a co-founder said monetisation waits for scale (press). It is funded by investors: a €300,000 pre-seed from Fil Rouge Capital's accelerator (March 2026, press) and a €1.3 million seed round with a VC fund and business angels that it said it was finalising in July 2026. Its website shows an EU "Co-funded by the European Union" emblem beside Fil Rouge's logo; no grant to eYou itself is established.

OrganisationWhat kind of organisation runs it?

Investor-backed company

control: Co-founders Jasseem Allybokus (sole director) and Grégoire Vigroux, the only registered members

Fil Rouge Capital invested €300,000 through its accelerator but does not appear as a member in the court register, last changed in March 2026, so the form of its stake is not established. The company is a simple limited company (j.d.o.o.) with €4 of share capital.

FeedWho decides what you see?

Ranked, with a non-profiled option

eYou's terms define the feed as ranked by engagement and time decay, and users can see and adjust the "Digital Twin" profile that shapes it. The web client also offers a "Latest" sort by recency, a Following tab and the AFP news tab Pulse; this option is read from the client code, not described in eYou's policies.

ModerationWho moderates?

The operator

eYou's AI flags and hides content, and the eYou team decides reports and appeals by human review; its policies name no volunteer or group moderators.

AI trainingDoes your content train AI?

Ruled out

eYou states that it does not train, fine-tune or adapt AI models on user data, that its AI providers are contractually bound not to train on it, and that it does not sell or license personal data. Sending posts to Mistral and other providers for moderation and fact-checking is processing, not training, on these terms.

IdentityMust you prove who you are?

No ID needed

verification: none

Read off the verification layer, where its sources are.

Open sourceIs the code open?

Closed source

licence: proprietary

Read off the code layer, where its sources are.

SizeHow big is it?

100k accounts worldwide

counted: registered accounts, worldwide

period: Jul 2026

eYou's own press release of 1 July 2026 says it passed 100,000 users eight weeks after launch; "users" is not defined, and reading it as sign-ups is an inference (it reports a 43% retention rate separately). Its largest communities are in Romania, Germany, the UK and France; Google Play shows 10K+ installs.
