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

KaneFilous is built on delivering real value over chasing quick wins

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.
