What if social media wasn’t built around ads, noise, or spying?
That’s the question KaneFilous is trying to answer.
A privacy-first social network that encourages real connection, without the noise.
The Problem
George, KaneFilous' founder, thinks most social platforms today are built for one thing: attention.
That means more engagement farming, more surveillance, more junk.
Toxic feeds, invasive tracking, and data-hungry algorithms dominate the experience.
The result? Real connection gets buried under rage-bait and targeted ads.
"Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter) now generate over $200 billion annually in advertising revenue — fueled by the mass extraction and sale of users' private data." (Statista, 2024).
KaneFilous flips the script:
- No ads
- No algorithms
- No selling user data
- A push for useful, thoughtful content — not cheap dopamine
Why He Built It
George spent years frustrated by how social media worked. He felt like a product, not a person.
Rather than accept it, he built something better.
“Building KaneFilous is a source of constant motivation. I enjoy the challenges, the creativity, and the feeling that this work genuinely matters.”
With a small, passionate team and a belief that real connection deserves better, he set out to create the platform he wanted to use.
Traction So Far
KaneFilous is early, but growing:
- 50+ early users, all organic
- Website live: https://kf.social/
- Mobile app in development
- Expanding into a service marketplace (appointments, groceries, local services)
There’s no hype machine behind it. Just a focused team building something people want to use.
In a time when most platforms feel louder and less human, KaneFilous stands out by staying quiet, focused, and principled.
