Social media platforms like Meta (Facebook, Instagram) and X (Twitter) are huge parts of our online lives. They’re where we catch up with friends, get our news, and share ideas. But while these platforms bring us together in a lot of ways, they also come with big problems—especially when it comes to privacy and misinformation. For a company like Runbox, being part of these platforms just doesn’t make sense. Here’s why.
1. Privacy Comes First
Runbox has built its reputation on privacy. It’s not just a feature—it’s the whole point. We don’t collect or sell your data to third-party advertisers. In fact, privacy is baked into everything we do.
Meta and X (Twitter) on the other hand make a lot of their money by gathering tons of data about their users—everything from your location to your browsing history. They use that data to target ads and sell you things, often without your full understanding of how much info they’re collecting. For Runbox, which is all about user privacy, being associated with platforms that profit off personal data just doesn’t align with our values.
