By building alternative digital platforms, right, I think about how in response to major platforms censoring women's health information, we've seen platforms like DM, which is this, like,
Then there's sunroom, where the girls get paid to exist. Think OnlyFans, personalized, monetized content, but for everyone from fitness instructors to career coaches, and yes, obviously hot girls. But with content moderation done through a woman's lens and zero tolerance for harassment and hate speech. And if you still have questions about the digital world that we're building, there's DiEM. Founded by an all-women team,
Reddit alternative pop up and a quarter of their searches are about reproductive rights.
And it's trained on conversations that women are having with each other.
Or I think about how Sunroom, I mentioned in the talk too, has grown out of, it's where girls get paid to exist.
And it's personalized and monetized content, fitness coaches, career coaches, and hot girls.
But they grew out of
an issue online that they saw, which was that on these visual platforms, women's hotness is commodified by the platform, right?
It's built to feel like you're asking questions in the girls' restroom at 1 a.m. Founded in 2023, it has a user base of over 100,000 and saw an increase by 700 percent in searches in the days following the US presidential inauguration in 2025. And that's no surprise, because a quarter of their searches are about reproductive health.
Like they profit from it.
Sure.
They're serious about our privacy, guaranteeing anonymous searching in a moment where major platforms are censoring women's health information. And respect for their consumers and creators is actually built into their business model. They reward conversations that train their algorithm with gems. They work a lot like credit card points. You can use them at your favorite brands or as donations to the causes you care about. I even saw a dad
Yeah, I think somewhere like Sunroom, right, what makes them interesting is that they're pushing back against these major platforms that profit off of women's beauty and their hotness and just our visual being, right?
of two little girls coming to DM to ask for advice. He came away with everything from book recommendations to affirmations from fellow users. So while these apps are built by and for the girls, their benefits go far beyond. They model an internet with respect, control, ownership.
And saying that
Got it.
Right.
Right.
We've seen platforms like Instagram censor larger bodies where they do not censor, you know, these like typical, you know, thin bodies.
They have more in common than just being built by women. They model a new, better architecture for a digital world that we are building. And this matters, because in a world where 39 percent of adults under 30 get their news on TikTok, this isn't some frivolous teenage pastime. This is the new public square.
