This isn’t goodbye

We’re so sorry if this disruption impacts your day-to-day experience on Twitter. Know that we fought to stay, and it’s still possible we’ll be able to return in the future.

(Your browser. We made a browser extension.)

We’ll still be fighting the trolls, but for now, we’re turning our focus to a different part of the problem. The part that comes before they start attacking you.

Old posts that get taken out of context in order to make you look bad. Seemingly innocuous details on a profile, like your hometown, being used to find and harass your parents. Fun meme posts being scraped by fraudsters for answers to security questions. Our social accounts are littered with scraps of personal information that we’re encouraged to share—and don’t realize can be weaponized by scammers, stalkers, and harassers. Embedded in every single social media setting is an unspoken tradeoff.

You deserve to choose boundaries for yourself, not to discover the hard way that you’ve accepted the secret risks of default settings. But ask any security team and they’ll tell you it takes hours to go through just your Facebook settings. Who has that kind of patience? It’s easy to put off forever.

Privacy Party is a browser extension that reduces your risk of harassment, cyberstalking, impersonation, fraud, spam, and other online attacks with automated privacy playbooks for your social media accounts. Expert recommendations help identify risks in your social accounts, and automations handle the confusing and tedious work of finding and implementing the settings to manage them.
