But their services are not free; the users are lured in with targeted posts and viral content, and their data is sold to the advertisers for a handsome fee. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Therefore, in effect, Facebook\u2014and a platform like it\u2014is not a people&#8217;s network but an advertising platform that serves advertisers who are its real users.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Light Approach to Moderation<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Another important aspect of most social media platforms is that they moderate content using AI tools and human moderators. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">They may do this according to their <em>\u201cinternal company policy\u201d<\/em> but the users whose content, posts, photos, and videos are flagged or removed are rarely given a chance to put forward their point-of-view.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Business_Model_of_MeWe_App\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Business Model of <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">MeWe App<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">As we mentioned earlier, there are multiple streams of revenue for MeWe \u2013 even if there are no ad revenues.

Even to create your first business page, you must first pay up to $1.99 subscription charges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Once the users start using its services, the MeWe app can upsell its premium features like voice and video calling, extra cloud storage, and custom emojis to users for a fee at low as $4.99 per month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\"> Similarly, there are many tools for businesses that you can download on your app or browser. These tools are available from $1.99 per month to $14.99 per month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Finally, the MeWe app has many items and services for sale in the form of in-app purchases \u2013 by other users and by businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">MeWe has collaborated with Google and Microsoft for their Office Automation packages.
