GENEVA, Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As the creator economy continues to mature, content monetization platforms are entering a new phase of structural development. The rapid growth of the sector is now accompanied by increased professionalization: dedicated teams, automation tools, outsourced management, and advanced technological solutions have become embedded in the ecosystem.
In France, the Senate is currently reviewing measures aimed at regulating what some lawmakers have referred to as "Pimping 2.0," a term used to describe outsourced profile management and delegated user interactions on certain subscription-based platforms. The debate, covered by RTL, extends beyond France and reflects a broader European and international movement toward stronger transparency requirements, intermediary accountability, and enhanced creator protections. As regulators take a closer look at opaque delegation models and automated interaction systems, compliance standards are expected to tighten.
In this environment, RedPeach designed to prevent undisclosed delegation and ensure interaction authenticity positions itself in alignment with emerging regulatory expectations.
While this evolution follows a clear economic logic, it also raises a strategic question: how can clarity and trust be maintained in digital interactions when multiple layers of intervention may operate behind a single account?
It is within this context that the Swiss company RedPeach is developing a verification-centered approach: https://redpeach.com/face-verification.
The platform has developed proprietary technology that integrates a facial validation mechanism within private messaging. The objective is to certify that responses originate directly from the account holder, thereby reinforcing interaction traceability and transparency.
"The creator economy has grown extremely fast. We believe the next stage is not only about growth, but about clarity. Technology should strengthen trust in interaction, not replace it," said Marco Cally, CEO of RedPeach.
As part of its development strategy, the RedPeach team conducted a six-month study analyzing 2,000 publicly accessible creator accounts operating on subscription-based platforms.
According to the company's internal findings, 65% of accounts generating between $500 and $100,000 in monthly revenue appear to rely on external management structures or technological assistance tools to manage user interactions (internal analysis; methodology and scope available upon request).
Beyond its verification infrastructure, RedPeach's 2026 roadmap is part of a broader responsible innovation framework: enhanced content protection tools, collaborative features for creators, diversified payment solutions, and structured support programs.
Originally developed as a CRM solution and payment infrastructure for freelancers and small and mid-sized businesses, RedPeach technology has evolved to address the specific needs of the creator economy, particularly as expectations around transparency and digital accountability continue to increase.
Rather than positioning itself in opposition to existing platforms, RedPeach presents its model as a technological evolution of the sector: a framework in which technical validation of interactions contributes to a clearer and more sustainable environment for content monetization.

HERNDON, Va., Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ST Engineering iDirect today announced that its Manufacturing Competence Center (MCC), located in Erpe-Mere, Belgium, has been selected by Raytheon, an RTX business, to support the Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM®) Block II program. This marks a significant milestone for the MCC, affirming it as a strategic European partner in the production of advanced defense technologies for one of NATO's most enduring cooperative security initiatives.
Operational since 1968, the ESSM® program is the longest-running cooperative smart defense initiative in NATO's history and remains a cornerstone of international naval defense strategy.
The MCC was selected because of its proven capabilities in managing high-complexity, high-mix production for the defense sector. It is AS/EN 9100 certified for Aviation, Space, and Defense, with manufacturing processes aligned to the rigorous quality standards required for mission-critical programs like ESSM®.
"At Raytheon, innovation is intrinsic to what we do, and we found a partner in ST Engineering iDirect's European Manufacturing Competence Center that operates from a shared strategic vision," said Misty Holmes, Vice President of Shipboard Missiles at Raytheon. "Together, we will pair cutting-edge technology with state-of-the-art manufacturing to deliver unmatched capability to U.S., NATO and allied navies around the world."
"Being selected to support the ESSM® Block II program is a testament to the Manufacturing Competence Center's dedication to excellence and innovation, and underscores its reputation as a premier European facility for high-reliability electronics manufacturing," said Tom Hamelinckx, Plant Director at ST Engineering iDirect. "This collaboration highlights the strategic importance of Belgian manufacturing capabilities and reinforces our commitment to delivering high-reliability solutions that meet the stringent demands of the defense industry."
"During our visit to the Raytheon facilities in Tucson last October, we emphasized the importance of increasing Belgian participation in the ESSM® Block II program. We are very pleased to see RTX translating that dialogue into concrete deliverables so quickly. Companies such as ST Engineering iDirect clearly demonstrate the potential and added value of Belgium's defense industry to large international programs such as Sea Sparrow," said Theo Francken, Belgian Minister of Defence.
"To guarantee peace and security, this government and Minister Francken are structurally investing in defense. It is crucial to involve our own industry and build strategic autonomy. ST Engineering iDirect's contributions are invaluable," added Peter Buysrogge, Chairman of the Defence Committee and Alderman of Sint-Niklaas.
This collaboration with Raytheon further solidifies the MCC's role in supporting European and global defense infrastructure and demonstrates the strategic value of Belgian manufacturing capabilities within the NATO alliance.
The MCC has been recognized four times as a Factory of the Future, reflecting its commitment to innovation, digitization, and operational excellence. The facility integrates advanced testing capabilities, comprehensive traceability systems, and robust supply chain management protocols to deliver the precision and stability required for defense contracting applications.
