Moptu combines the power of social media and personal curation to end the tyranny of news feeds and social algorithms that make decisions for you about what you should (or shouldn’t) read. We believe that the best way to find the very best articles about news is to have them crowd sourced and brought to you by a pool of people who care the way you care. Traditional social media is great, but the big platforms rely on algorithms, are agenda driven, and your feed is constantly littered with memes, status updates, pictures and lots of other forms of social media noise. Aggregators are great but, they are impersonal, less fun, and don’t have the personal touch. Moptu is the better way. It was founded, and is run, by childhood friends Josh Namm and Charles Haspel. Like everyone else, we get our news online, but in this era of misinformation, misleading stories, and privacy concerns, we found that it was increasingly difficult to consistently find and share unbiased, substantive information. As tech lovers and avid news junkies, we envisioned a destination that makes it fun and easy for people to discover, share, discuss and organize information from sources they trust, without having to navigate through bias and the general ‘noise’ that is associated with typical social media. We sincerely believe that a platform that puts the power to share news socially back into the hands of individuals will help our society be better informed, and therefore less fractured. Our goal is to empower you to inform, unite and educate. Our users post articles about every imaginable topic throughout the day: politics, entertainment, recipes, wellness, science etc. Because all of our articles are posted by regular people, you truly get news from all sides, far outside of the echo chamber of other news and social media platforms. Users like you post a lot, so our content is always changing. Love sports but hate politics? Hate politics but love recipes? Love politics, recipes, and sports? Follow all of your interests on Moptu! Features • Users can create unlimited customizable topics to share articles, organize pages and making it easy and hassle free to find articles on someone’s page! • Our topics, coupled with the fact that Moptu never deletes your links, ensures that your articles never get lost, allowing you to effortlessly look back through your search history, repost, and ‘give life’ to old articles. • Moptu enables you to search articles with keywords and your search results immediately show articles themselves (instead of just titles). Ready to start? Some last bits of info. • We're passionate about this. We're devoted to bringing you the best possible way to share news with friends, family & people you trust. • We plan on updating the app frequently, so get ready for more exciting features. • You can also be a part of the Moptu community on the desktop/mobile sites at: moptu.com

About

SocialHuman

SocialHuman is a social network where every post is real. It's an AI-free space where every photo and video is captured live through your phone camera and verified by our forensic engine before it goes live. There's no upload button and no gallery picker. How it works: Open the camera, take a photo or shoot a video, and that's your post. Our verification system checks sensor data, EXIF metadata, and behavioral signals to confirm the content came from a real device held by a real person. Verified posts get a trust badge, and anything that fails gets flagged. Your Trust Score tracks your history of verified, authentic content. It's visible on your profile and grows over time as you keep posting real moments. What makes SocialHuman different: - Camera-only capture, with no gallery picker or upload button. - What the camera saw is what everyone sees, with no filters, skin smoothing, or face reshaping. - Video, built in. Record, trim, mute, and draw right in the app, with on-device auto-captions that never send your audio to a server. - Stories that share a moment and then disappear, under the same live-capture rule. - Anti-bot text input that validates every keystroke and blocks paste and programmatic input. - Trust scores you earn through verified posting rather than buy. - Private circles for sharing with smaller groups. - End-to-end encrypted direct messages that no one else can read. Built in Helsinki, Finland, under EU privacy law. SocialHuman Premium (optional paid subscription) unlocks verification insights, trust score analytics, pinned posts, accent colors, longer captions, extended videos, comment reactions, and more.
