Ads-free Social Network
Privacy-respecting alternative to Facebook
ComsChatter ads-free social network protects user privacy in every way possile, not least by avoiding advertising and the privacy-violating 3rd-party cookies and code that come with it. In terms of user-data-privacy,
Coms is sublimely innocuous.
ComsChatter is the social network, and
ComsMessenger is the encrypted messaging and video calling app - both are accessd by log-in at
coms.global.
Community-owned Social Network
Seeing
Coms as a community-owned network, founder and CEO
Craig Dunn says: "Members are invited to effect the site's operation by expressing preferences, suggestions, even making complaints in discussion with
Coms Support - help us make
Coms do what you need it to do."
"Our members define what
ComsChatter is", Dunn declares, "- they put their lives
online, expressing personal and professional views, and we help them do that safely by providing in-app content filters and human content moderation directed by community preferences, by maintaining a commonly-appreciated level of decency and by steering clear of commercial influence."
"If we pursue advertising revenue," says
Coms founder
Craig Dunn, "we have to allow 3rd-party cookies and embed javascript code from networks that build psychological profiles of people with the intention of affecting the way they think, for commercial gain - which is exctly what we seek to avoid!"
"We provide an alternative to Facebook and other data-raping social media that don't respect their users' privacy, or even their mental health.
ComsChatter's cool - a social network that does not collect any data about you, does not claim to own your content, and does not try to mess with your mind."
Encrypted Messaging and Video Calls
ComsMessenger and
CallStudio bring the absolute security of P2P-enabled messaging plus voice + video calls, protecting communications to the ultimate degree.
