As social media users, we are constantly faced with a fundamental choice: to post on social media sites and sacrifice control over our data, or protect ourselves from privacy concerns by not participating in what is rapidly becoming THE communication medium.
With the launch of scrambls today, using social media doesn’t have to mean giving up control.
Once you start using scrambls, what you’re really doing is choosing your own Privacy Policy that works wherever you go online. Nobody—not the social media platform, not scrambls itself—can read your content. You choose which of your contacts can read your content in clear text. Use scrambls to protect your online reputation, your content, your child’s safety, your company’s data; use it to control when, for how long, and with whom your data is shared on social media sites. It’s another tool in the kit, one that we hope will help make online sharing smarter.
If you would like to join the scrambls community, sign up is free and now open to the public. Helpful resources include:
