🧠 The team

Built by engineers specialising in AI

Bulle is founded by young French engineers, experts in artificial intelligence and recommendation systems. Their conviction: technology should serve users, not exploit them. Dozens of creators followed by millions of subscribers and media outlets have trusted them and officially support the project.

Clement, founder of Bulle

Clement

Founder and CTO

Graduate engineer from Mines (one of France's top engineering schools), specialising in cognitive science and recommendation systems. His dual expertise in AI and human cognition allows him to design algorithms that respect user attention instead of capturing it. He built Bulle to prove that a social media platform can be both technically powerful and ethically irreproachable.

⚙️

Recommendation Systems

Algorithms designed to inform, not to trap

🏗️ Scalability

Built to scale

On TikTok, around 70% of users never post anything. This is true across all social networks: content creation is concentrated in the hands of a small number of professionals. Bulle embraces this reality and turns it into a strength.

Halfway between television and social media

Rather than letting anyone post anything, with the costs of after-the-fact moderation that implies, Bulle selects professional creators and media outlets upstream who feed the platform with quality content. It is a model halfway between the success of television (content produced by professionals, consumed by millions) and that of social networks (interactivity, community, personalised recommendation algorithms).

Supply side

A few hundred professional creators and media outlets are enough to build a rich ecosystem. Editorial verification applies to this small number, not to millions of posts.

Demand side

Millions of viewers, commenters and subscribers can join the platform without constraint. Only publishing is reserved for validated creators.

Bulle Avenir

The semi-pro programme gradually expands the creator circle while maintaining editorial quality.

A word from the founder

Founder's photo
"

As a Mines graduate engineer specialising in cognitive science, I have studied closely the mechanisms that make social media addictive. Bulle was born from this conviction: we can design a social media platform that respects its users' attention instead of exploiting it.

That is why we have built child protection by default, a strict code of ethics and transparent, user-selectable algorithms directly into Bulle's architecture. These are not features bolted on after the fact; they are the foundations on which everything else is built.

Together, let's prove that a digital space can be both powerful and ethically irreproachable.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Bulle

Who can publish on Bulle?

To guarantee a high level of editorial quality, Bulle carefully selects its creators. Three pathways coexist:

1.

Invited creators and media outlets. Selected directly by Bulle for their expertise, the quality of their content and their alignment with our values. They commit to respecting our Code of Ethics.

2.

The Bulle Avenir programme. Any semi-professional creator aged 16 or over can apply to publish on Bulle. The process includes: identity verification, signing the Code of Ethics, approval by our moderation team (who must justify any refusal), and a one-time registration fee of €9.99. No remuneration is provided at this stage, but once a creator reaches 1,000 subscribers (including 500 verified), they can apply for professional status.

3.

In the long term, a framework guided by experts. A decision-making committee composed of independent experts from all fields will be responsible for establishing editorial guidelines. Our ambition is for an independent commission, inspired by ARCOM, to oversee publishing access in the long run.

Certain sensitive topics (spirituality, alternative medicine, controversial societal issues) are temporarily suspended pending recommendations from the expert committee. Bulle aims to be a space open to debate, but we want to build a fair and informed framework before opening these subjects.

How do you combat harassment and misinformation?

Anyone who wants to post a comment or send a message must verify their identity with Bulle (while remaining anonymous to other users). If they choose to post hateful content, they do so knowingly. Divisive content, proselytism, political propaganda and manipulation attempts are strictly forbidden by our Code of Ethics.

How do you combat addiction and filter bubbles?

Users can choose the categories they subscribe to themselves! Moreover, they can select their recommendation algorithm, such as the "contrarian" algorithm that presents videos challenging their existing views. Default daily limits apply (3 hours for verified accounts, 1.5 hours for unverified accounts, regardless of declared age), with an automatic night-time curfew.

What is Bulle's business model?

Bulle relies on a transparent model, without abusive exploitation or transmission of your personal data. Three revenue streams fund the platform's development:

1.

Premium subscription (€3.99/month). Optional. It removes all ads and gives you a unicorn totem animal badge in support of Bulle. With or without Premium, all essential features remain free.

2.

The Bulle Avenir programme (€9.99 one-time fee). Semi-professional creators approved by our moderation team can publish content after paying this registration fee.

3.

Ads (€9.99 per 1,000 impressions). Local businesses, artisans and creators can promote their activity through a short publication, subject to approval by our team. Each ad must comply with our Code of Ethics and European regulations. No personal data is shared with advertisers: filtering is done directly on your profile without any information being transmitted, and advertisers only receive anonymised statistics.

What we don't do: we don't sell your data, we don't create advertising profiles, we never use any third-party tracking cookies. Ever.

What do you do with my personal data?

The bare minimum. Your content is filtered solely based on your declared interests, your age and your approximate location (city, roughly 20 km). No data is sold, rented or shared with third parties - including advertisers. Ad filtering is done directly on your profile, without any information being transmitted.

To learn more, see our Privacy Policy.

Why a European social media platform?

Bulle is a pro-European project, operating within a global digital ecosystem.

Social media platforms are tremendous tools for sharing and empowerment. Our app is available on Android and iOS, and we use international technologies to serve our mission. We also prioritise European and open-source solutions whenever possible: part of our hosting is provided by OVH in France, our servers are in Europe, and our data stays there, in compliance with the GDPR.

Our approach is complementary: we offer a space focused on content quality, transparency and user protection. It is our contribution to a more diverse and respectful digital landscape.
