Since we have been discussing anonymity on social media during this module I found it appropriate to find some of the social media sites that are all about keeping personal details under wraps. Among those that are still running are whisper, Yik Yak, After School, and Rumr. However, one of the other sites that was on this list is being shut down by its CEO because the site has gotten away from him and he no longer sees it being used for its intended purpose. The app that I am referring to is called Secret. Byttow (CEO) has expressed that among the unwanted activity on Secret lie government bans, hacks, and cyberbullying. However, not all of the sites have these aspects running rampant. Of course, these things are hard to police so there is almost definitely some, but the other sites are still running and offering everybody the opportunity to make a statement without and identification.
