You might be wondering how social media companies earn money if their products are free to download and almost all the features are free to use. Well, the thing here is that some of them have found the most vicious way to earn money — big data monetization.

Social media apps are free solely because the user is the product. Any photo, message or number sent via messaging and social media apps are stored on the servers, and, as we know, the information is money. All the private data you provide is monetized in a variety of ways, but you are not the one to benefit from it.

This is getting old!

Turn on your TV or look for news online: every other article is about social media giants and their total control over our private data. People are already tired of talking about injustice. How is this even a thing in 2019?!

The scandals aren’t stopping them. Social media companies still keep selling our private data to generate ad revenues for their financial benefit. By enabling them to gain unrestricted power to control and make money on our private data, content and time, we made a fatal mistake.

It’s time for a big change!

The protests and complaints have been heard, and we’ve been granted an entirely different type of social media app — POP. Yes, yes, yes, sounds like another shady way to advertise a new product. But hear me out! POP is different. Here’s why:

  1. POP is the first private social media platform where users are in complete control!
  2. POP won’t and can’t sell its users data simply because everyone owns their data. So, you decide what to do with it. POP makes money when users want to store more than 50GB of data on the secure server.
  3. The platform is built on a secure server to make sure all the data stays 100% safe and private. While Facebook promises to build a safe platform ONE DAY, POP is already one step ahead.
  4. Users are in control! Even if you decide to delete your account, it’s easier to remove all your private data from the cloud. No one will ever be able to see your funny bikini photos unless you decide to make them public.
  5. Other social media platforms let you choose who can see your posts, but they don’t stop anyone from downloading your posts or taking screenshots of them. POP does!

This is the first social media platform that puts its users first. If you join the POP community, your data will always be strictly under your exclusive control.

It’s time to eliminate the phrase “data breaches” and “big data monetization” from our dictionaries. POP is coming to change the way social media works!

Join the social media revolution! Join POP!
