About FamilyNet
FamilyNet is a Canadian initiative created to give families, schools, and community organizations a safer and more respectful way to connect online.
We were founded on a simple belief: online communities should serve people — not advertisers, data brokers, or algorithms.
FamilyNet is operated by the Safe Social Networking Society, a Canadian nonprofit organization dedicated to privacy, digital dignity, and community trust.
Why FamilyNet Exists
Mainstream social networks are built around tracking, engagement manipulation, and advertising revenue. Over time, this model has created serious concerns for families, educators, and community leaders.
FamilyNet was created as a practical alternative.
Our platform is designed to:
- Protect personal privacy by default
- Eliminate advertising and tracking entirely
- Support real communities, not viral content
- Put control back in the hands of members and institutions
A Platform Built for Institutions and Families
FamilyNet is not an open public social network.
Access is provided through trusted organizations such as:
- Schools and school boards
- Educational foundations
- Registered charities
- Community and family-focused institutions
This institutional model ensures accountability, safety, and relevance for all participants.
The Partner Model
Partners play a central role in the FamilyNet ecosystem.
Through the Partner Hub, organizations can:
- Onboard securely
- Manage their participation
- Enable member access
- Receive fundraising or participation payouts
The Partner platform is designed to be simple, transparent, and purpose-built — without unnecessary features or complexity.
Privacy by Design
Privacy is not an add-on at FamilyNet. It is foundational.
FamilyNet operates with:
- No advertising
- No tracking
- No behavioral profiling
- No data selling or sharing
We collect only the information required to operate the service responsibly and securely.
Funding and Sustainability
FamilyNet is funded through modest membership fees and partner participation.
There are:
- No advertisers
- No sponsored content
- No data monetization
This ensures the platform remains aligned with the interests of families and communities, not outside commercial pressures.
Our Commitment
We are committed to:
- Building technology that respects people
- Supporting schools and community organizations
- Operating transparently and ethically
- Keeping the platform simple, secure, and purpose-driven
FamilyNet is designed to grow carefully and responsibly, guided by long-term trust rather than short-term metrics.
Looking Ahead
As FamilyNet grows, our focus remains the same:
- Strengthening local communities
- Supporting families and educators
- Raising the standard for safe online interaction
We believe safer social networking is not only possible — it is necessary.

Letter from the Founder
Welcome to the Society!
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to create a safe online space where families can connect without compromising security or privacy. We believe everyone deserves a secure, respectful online environment where connections are built in the absence of extraneous intrusions, and concerns over safety and privacy.
As the Founder, I am committed to upholding these values and ensuring that the Society remains a trusted resource where safety and respect for members' privacy is at the heart of every interaction.
I warmly invite you to join FamilyNet.
Sincerely,
Amrit Dhillon
Founder, Safe Social Networking Society
