DeleteMe acquires social media security tool Block Party | TechCrunch
""In a prior life, I was briefly and mildly Internet famous for my activism and advocacy work. The subsequent intrusions on my life and physical safety became a shocking revelation in how exposed I was, and I found myself scrambling to lock everything down.""
""Until now, enterprise customers and consumers alike have had to go to different companies to cobble together separate solutions. This acquisition brings both our products under the same roof, and gives everyone who's been asking for it somewhere to go.""
Tracy Chou founded Block Party in 2018 to combat targeted harassment on Twitter. After raising $4.8 million in 2022, the company pivoted to support multiple social media platforms. Block Party evolved into a browser plug-in for social media safety. Chou's personal experiences with online harassment inspired the creation of the tool. The acquisition by DeleteMe will integrate both companies' products, providing a comprehensive solution for users seeking to protect their personal information online.
