Explained: What is MeWe?

What is MeWe?

MeWe is an ad-free social network, which is free to access via a browser or mobile app. It has drawn comparisons to Facebook, for it’s layout, appearance, and functionality. The platform allows users to post text and images on their timelines, share other member’s content, send disappearing messages, join and create groups, and to take part in private or group chats. The platform doesn’t use a newsfeed algorithm, so members see their friend’s content in chronological order.

How does it work?

Users can access and update their MeWe profile on the platform’s app, or using a browser.

Posting content on your MeWe profile

While, MeWe profiles are private by default, when posting to their profile users also have the option to adjust the setting of each individual post to control who can view that post.

Groups

Members can search for groups or content that they are interested in. Some groups are public, but to join a private group the creator or an admin of that group must approve your request. Members can also set up their own Groups, and choose to make them public, or create a private group where members need to be invited or get approval to join.

Chat

Users can use the chat function for conversations with their contacts, and members who are in the same groups, however users can adjust their privacy settings to restrict this to contacts only. The chat function allows users to send content including text, disappearing images, links, and voice notes.

Blocking and Reporting

It is possible to Block and Report users if you want to prevent unwanted contact. The blocking and reporting tools can be accessed from within the chat, or through a user’s profile.

What are the risks?

MeWe’s Terms of Service require users to be over the age of 16, and the content on the platform is geared towards an adult audience. In groups users exchange conversation about their hobbies and interests, but as in any online platform there is the possibility of encountering inappropriate content, or unwanted contact, and it is important to be familiar with the privacy settings and reporting tools available.

Note: In Ireland the digital age of consent is set at 16.

What are 3 early tools?

These Oldowan toolkits include hammerstones, stone cores, and sharp stone flakes. By about 1.76 million years ago, early humans began to make Acheulean handaxes and other large cutting tools.

Stone tools and other artifacts offer evidence about how early humans made things, how they lived, interacted with their surroundings, and evolved over time. Spanning the past 2.6 million years, many thousands of archeological sites have been excavated, studied, and dated. These sites often consist of the accumulated debris from making and using stone tools. Because stone tools are less susceptible to destruction than bones, stone artifacts typically offer the best evidence of where and when early humans lived, their geographic dispersal, and their ability to survive in a variety of habitats. But since multiple hominin species often existed at the same time, it can be difficult to determine which species made the tools at any given site. Most important is that stone tools provide evidence about the technologies, dexterity, particular kinds of mental skills, and innovations that were within the grasp of early human toolmakers.
