About 1% for Social Dilemma
We attached massive hopes to technology and social networks : we expect them to connect us, fuel inspiration, facilitate education, entertain us, enable scalable growth to all businesses, spread ideas, stimulate creativity, provide access to information...
But social networks have also led to many unintended consequences that are now catching up with us, especially the youngest generations :
This situation has created a conflict between the interests of the platforms (Meta, Alphabet, TikTok, Amazon, etc.), and those of the community. This is what is known as the "social dilemma".
To enable future generations to meet the challenges facing humankind, the latter must remedy the failings of the social media ecosystem through actions supported by citizens themselves, but also by organizations, whether for-profit or not.
At 1% for Social Dilemma, we are deeply committed to drive positive change and making the web - and the world - a better place.
Kolsquare, a technology company specialized in influencer marketing, has decided to take up the Social Dilemma challenge. By becoming a Benefit Company in 2020, it has committed - among other things - to donating 1% of its revenues each year, whether profitable or not, to organizations fighting against the social, societal and environmental limits of social networks.

Given the enthusiasm shown for this approach by other companies and professional organisations, as well as individuals, the idea of the "1% for social dilemma" foundation was born to coordinate the community of players committed to this mission, and to support related actions of general interest.
