Canada's own social media platform 'North Social' (Northsocial.ca) has launched as a challenge to global giants US social media platforms. A group of former students of the University of Fraser Valley in British Columbia is behind this innovative initiative. CEO Colin Schmidt stated that the goal is to create a free space for Canadian citizens to communicate with each other without being influenced by the algorithms of foreign tech giants.

Currently available through the website, the app of this platform will be released soon. The main feature of this platform is that the personal information of the users will be kept safe on servers in Canada.
The owners of this platform are Zynim Media Inc., a company based in Chilliwack. North Social, built using Canadian technology, will also include features like sharing and following posts, as well as groups, gaming and a dedicated marketplace in the coming days.

Company officials said that despite having only a small number of users in the first eight months, the number of users has increased significantly in the past six weeks. Colin Schmidt added that their goal is to build a unique digital culture for Canada, despite major global challenges.
