Echoes of EuroPCom

In this Episode: Have social media platforms drifted away from their original purpose of connecting people? This question is at the heart of our conversation with Christos Floros – entrepreneur, architect, and activist. Today’s digital platforms often prioritise engagement metrics over meaningful interaction, fuelling outrage rather than dialogue. But is there a different path forward? Can technology be redesigned to serve people, communities, and democracy? Our guest Christos Floros brings a fresh perspective, drawing on his experience with the social media platform Monnett and beyond. He explores how digital spaces can be reimagined to foster trust, transparency, and genuine connection, rather than division. 💬 As he puts it: “Social media have stopped being social… Let’s rebuild the promise of connecting us to each other.” Guest: Christos Floros, entrepreneur, architect and activist.Founder of Monnett, a social media platform focused on building more transparent, community-driven digital environments. His work explores how technology can strengthen public discourse and reconnect people with their local communities. Host: Emna Chaouch | Public speaker | Podcast host About the podcast: The EuroPCom podcast series on public communication is produced by the European Committee of the Regions (CoR) in close cooperation with the EuroPCom partners. Hosted on Ausha.
