German secure.me offers parents more control over children's Facebook accounts
A German online reputation and privacy management company, secure.me, set its sights on a global market today, announcing it will be launching in ten different languages. The company markets towards parents who want to monitor the online shenanigans of their children, as well as those who fear the social networking site they use could become an Achilles’ heel for their professional repute.
The secure.me service is free of charge, but seems to be focused on Facebook only. For the worrying type of parent, the German company’s offering can seem heavenly. There’s no need to even be registered with Facebook to fully experience the service. Once a Facebook account has been linked to secure.me, around-the-clock monitoring of a profile and its network of friends can be sent to email. A maximum of three profiles can be monitored.
“We know that children and parents often don’t like being Facebook friends with each other. And we also know that parents don’t have the time to continuously monitor Facebook. We developed secure.me to solve this problem,” said secure.me founder Christian Sigl.
