Here is the startup's link: https://eyou.social/

European social media startup eYou has secured โ‚ฌ300,000 in pre-seed funding. The platform, developed in Bucharest, aims to create an alternative to X and Facebook with integrated AI fact-checking and transparent algorithms โ€” its public launch is planned for May 2026. eYou was founded by French serial entrepreneurs Jasseem Allybokus (CEO) and Grรฉgoire Vigroux (CCO), who have been living in Romania for over a decade. The investor is Croatian venture capital fund Fil Rouge Capital.

The core feature: users can request a fact-check on any post with a single click โ€” an AI-generated assessment based on neutral sources that summarises the accuracy of statements. In addition, eYou offers a transparency feature that allows users to view and adjust the profile the algorithm builds about them.

I am also sceptical, though it may help if the bot provides a sources. The major problem is not so much the AI but the people who control the the AI algorithms and the training data.

But how many users will just see that it provided a source and then not actually look up that source to see if it a) exists and b) says what it says it says?

And remember how much the muskrat had to wrench into grok until it repeated his bullshit. It will hallucinate, but I would still think that it is better than nothing.
