"Without control over network systems, we lose our prosperity, our intellectual property, and our freedom." ⠀ Pierre Bellanger wrote this in 2014. In a book called "La Souveraineté Numérique" — Digital Sovereignty. ⠀ At the time, people thought it was alarmist. ⠀ Then came: → Cambridge Analytica (2018) → The US Cloud Act (2018) → Schrems II ruling (2020) → Pegasus spyware revelations (2021) → EU Digital Markets Act (2022) → Ongoing geopolitical fragmentation of the internet (2024-2026) ⠀ Every single prediction came true. ⠀ Pierre didn't just write about the problem. He built the solution. ⠀ In 2017, he co-founded Skred — a messaging platform where no server ever touches your data. Pure peer-to-peer. No phone number. No identity. No trace. ⠀ Today: 21 million users. 200+ countries. Zero advertising budget. ⠀ Some founders chase trends. Others see what's coming a decade early — and build for it. ⠀ → skred.app
