Honestly surprised we haven't seen any European, South American, African, etc developed social apps take off given the privacy and moderation concerns. Or apps based in Asian countries other than China.
We need a neutral social media society that plays fair. Maybe a company HQed in Switzerland or something offering full privacy and full ad protection seems to be an opportunity.

"Social media should be built on protocols, not platforms."
That and Twitter has been around way longer.
I am sure there are all kinds of social media apps in those other countries no one uses.
I also assume this story has little to do with reality and it is just a nice headline that will get clicks.
