Amid a move to privacy centric social media apps, MeWe added 2.5M new members in the past week, wrote Coral Murphy Marcos of USA Today. The ad-free MeWe says it currently has 16M members, and looks to compete against more well known social media firms that utilize data collection for targeted ads, noted the USA Today story. "MeWe, launched by Mark Weinstein in 2016, also vouches not to censor their users for behavior that might violate the policies of other networks, including Facebook (FB) and Twitter (TWTR)," added USA Today.
