Even as someone who closely follows the tech industry and writes about privacy issues, I find it's difficult to fully keep up with how to properly protect myself online.

Block Party has been a huge boost in helping me feel more secure in how I use many online platforms, knowing that it helps me make better choices with my settings and guiding me through what the tradeoffs are for various decisions.

It's like having a privacy expert sitting with me and helping me protect my own privacy.

I love how it automatically recommended which privacy settings to update AND did the heavy lifting for me. All internet users should take control of their privacy and this tool makes it easy to do.

Default account settings are designed to benefit the company, not the user. Block Party clarifies which settings are actually to my benefit, and makes it easy to make those updates.

Former Chief Immigration Judge, Department of Justice

The opportunity to have access to [Block Party] has been not only extremely valuable for my sense of security overall but also has given me a sense of freedom to share my thoughts and ideas. It’s imperative that in a democratic society we are able to voice our opinions without fear of being threatened or physically attacked because someone can find you and terrorize you simply for the job you did or for a position you took.

Advocate for targets of online abuse

Block Party is an incredibly useful one stop shop to take control of your online footprint. I sleep better knowing I haven't exposed any personal information unintentionally.

The extension also means I don't need to stay on top of the constantly shifting terms of service on each social platform; Block Party does it for me.

I genuinely had no idea how much of my info was out there. Kind of scary tbh?? The app made it v easy to find issues and fix them without digging through 800 settings pages, which is the only reason I got it fixed, honestly.

Founder of an organization speaking out against the administration's attacks on federal employees

I'd never had serious concerns about my safety until I was doxed a few months ago and later targeted in right-wing publications. My risk level escalated after the inauguration when I began speaking out against the president and senior Justice Department officials in the media and in Congress.

I've felt deep concern and guilt over how my new work subjects my family to danger, and I've declined several media appearances because they've felt too high-profile. [These tools] have eased my anxiety significantly, and I feel much safer doing the work that I expect will continue for years to come.

I'd never had serious concerns about my safety until I was doxed a few months ago and later targeted in right-wing publications. My risk level escalated after the inauguration when I began speaking out against the president and senior Justice Department officials in the media and in Congress.

I've felt deep concern and guilt over how my new work subjects my family to danger, and I've declined several media appearances because they've felt too high-profile. [These tools] have eased my and my partner's anxiety significantly, and I feel much safer doing the work that I expect will continue for years to come.

Easily saved me an hour of work, if not more. I probably wouldn't have updated my privacy settings without this. I feel much more protected online.
