The Human Right to Privacy, a Promise from Sayches


Just because you are not on Facebook or Twitter does not mean your data is protected from these giants. The big conglomerates have an extremely sophisticated way of extracting data. Not only does it pull data about individuals on their platforms but also the individuals social circle.

Regardless of whether you created an account on Facebook or Twitter, the likelihood is, if you have friends and family who are on social media, you are also known to them.

Social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook use a model which creates the user’s persona.

Researchers used theoretical tools that incorporated structural and sequential approaches to create an image of the user’s persona. They also analysed the user’s most recent posts to predict what their future posts would be. The results were extraordinary.

It is for this reason why data is so valuable to the social media moguls. They are able to sell your data or very strategically market products to you. This all raises questions the nature of privacy and how it is possible to achieve it within a highly networked society.

How good does a new social networking platform which protects your privacy by design sound? Sounds cool, right? Sayches is here to do exactly that.

As the digital world grows due to the surge of new products and services, user data is ever more accessible.

Corporations such as Google and Facebook monopolised the digital world and so it was hard to find alternatives. However, people are now becoming aware of how their privacy is being compromised and this is seeing a surge in new platforms filling the void.

Sayches is on a mission to make the Internet a better place and disrupt the tech giants by developing new products and services with the fundamental principle to uphold our human rights to privacy, anonymity and transparency without any compromises.

It is easy to catch a fish, while it is difficult to hunt an elephant, so if we create a hybrid animal by giving the strength of the elephant to the weaker organism - Sayches can fight threats that it aspires to nullify!

Happy 2021 🎉

We’re living more and more of our lives online, especially due to the impact caused by the global COVID pandemic.

Whether talking about remote working from home, keeping in contact with our loved ones via WhatsApp or simply sending an email, every single one of these actions involves the sending of data. Every single thing you do online leaves a fingerprint.

Invasion of privacy online and the inability to exercise free rein when using the Internet is the cause of tremendous anxiety for people right now.

We seek to develop a social media platform that alleviates these stresses by offering users optimum privacy, and the opportunity to communicate and share opinions without fear of being tracked down the line.

Are you excited to see the Sayches Social Network from the inside? Keep your eye on our account. 😉

Introducing a new social media service when the industry is already flooded with them may seem pointless; with each area and target audience already catered for. From YouTube for videos, Instagram for images and Facebook for networking, you may question the necessity for another.

Sayches’ fish, as it is being called for now, will soon have its name decided by the online community. Much like some iconic brand characters, such as Tux (Linux), Octocat (GitHub) and Dax (DuckDuckGo).

Sayches’ mascot aims to increase user engagement and brand exposure online by providing a positive perception of the company’s social conscience.

⚠️ ATTENTION! Sayches' fish needs you in our new game. Help Sayches' fish fight against the invasion of the enemies.

Our mission to provide a social network with privacy at its core will inevitably open up big questions.

We are experts in our field and follow the latest recommendations of the privacy community.

As well as striving to meet your needs, we seek to alleviate your fears.

In curbing the spread of the Coronavirus, networking in the "new normal" has adopted a digital approach with social distancing.

Sayches, the promising social network, will never negotiate a price for your personal data.

It is saddening that social media platforms have no regard for privacy or human rights.

We will change that narrative with our innovative social media platform. We aim to empower users to express their thoughts while offering them complete privacy.

Ever wondered how easy you lose privacy online because you give out your personal email and info?

We do. Experience the luxury of anonymity online as Sayches doesn't require a real phone number or email to get you started.

Remember to update your Sayches’ fish sticker pack to ensure you have access to our awesome new sticker.

Sayches Ltd is proud to develop privacy-friendly alternatives to mainstream apps that fail to respect the privacy of its users.

Sayches are proud to announce the launch of our new partner app.

PeerHunter allows users to securely trade cryptocurrency locally P2P without a middleman.

Our seamless UI is simple to navigate, allowing users to easily discover nearby traders.

How will PeerHunter help you with trading?

PeerHunter allows you to remain connected on our platform and see the online status of nearby traders. This way, you can net all potential traders in one swipe.

Concerned about your anonymity?

You can relax knowing that your precise location is not linked to your identity; therefore, we will never know your precise location, which is clear in our privacy policy.

What are you waiting for? Hunt your local peers now!

Bitcoin's purpose was to be a decentralised, anonymous and untraceable currency. With crypto regulations, traders are exposed to companies, putting their privacy at risk.

PeerHunter allows you to search for local traders without a broker.

UPDATE! If you haven’t seen the new challenge in the skin shop yet, then head over and take a look.

Sayches’ Fish is excited to introduce you all to our brand-new social media platform arriving in June.

Not only does our UI feature a clean and responsive design, but our new platform also protects your privacy and keeps you anonymous.

Here we introduce to you Sayches - an ephemeral microblogging platform that actively works to protect your online privacy, without having to employ extra anti-surveillance measures.

Sayches is developing new ways of communicating on social platforms that help remove the barriers that prevent people from expressing themselves online and giving people a voice and freedom to speak, with the knowledge that it will be gone the next day.

Employers are looking at more than your CV these days when assessing your suitability for a job. An applicant’s online digital footprint will be examined and once again that permanent black mark from a minute of madness can come back to bite them. A comment taken out of context, or something unintentionally inappropriate that leads to issues throughout their career.

Sayches helps you remain in constant contact with your friends. Those who want a play-by-play update of a party or event they are missing out on, can avoid the fear of missing out (FOMO) once and for all.

Eating soup? Research shows that mums want to know. Little updates here and there on daily activities, like what you are eating for lunch, are of interest to your family and friends. Baked a cake with the kids? Tell us. People want to know.

Sayches gives teenagers a platform to share feelings, thoughts and information. It also removes the risk of gaining a black mark against their name for life for a potential minute of silliness, as well as giving them a private space away from their folks.

Test the release candidate for Sayches 1.0.0–beta.

Reddit vs Sayches

Reddit: like a tattoo, your posts and comments are permanent. Forever leaving a trail on the internet.

Sayches: like a bubble, your posts and comments disappear after a while.

#UseSayches

Why ephemeral content? Why not?

✅ No long-term visibility to parents or employers.

✅ Less fear of getting no likes at all.

✅ No ‘what if’ in your mind on whether a post will affect your future.

What you need is your privacy back.

You think you know what these platforms are doing with your data, but here’s why you should be concerned.

Sayches provides a space where you can be yourself, share your thoughts – and not worry about your future.

Whilst other platforms have dropped the ball with hashtags, they still work wonders with Sayches.

Rejected by Apple. Sayches Condemns Apple's App Store Policies

Oct 7th, 2021

Sayches has condemned Apple's App Store policy after the US tech giant refused to allow the new social media platform onto its App Store. In response to Sayches' application, Apple sent the following statement: “We continue to find that your app displays user generated content anonymously but does not have the proper precautions in place.”

Sayches now plans to work on a feature-rich web app which will run in Safari, thus circumventing Apple's denial of entry into a system that some deem monopolistic. Furthermore, Sayches' API is now public and available for all developers. Sayches has also set up an open-source repository for the mobile application, which will enable users who want to build their own Sayches' applications.

“We started from a principle of freedom of the internet. This is our motto,” said Sayches CEO. “Sayches was started so that people could retain access to a free flow of information. For this reason, we are telling our users that Sayches will not be available on the App Store or Play Store. It will only be available on the web or any other non-monopolistic store that respects our basic principles.”

Sayches has noted that Google's Play Store represents a less restrictive development environment, because developers can install self-hosted apps as an Android Package (APK). But the search-engine titan's perceived lack of respect for privacy and internet freedom has led Sayches to think twice about housing its platform on Play Store.

It's still unclear exactly why Apple refused Sayches entry to the App Store, beyond what can be gleaned from the response printed above. But what seems clear is that the tech giant is resistant to any platform that keeps users' identity anonymous and attempts to safeguard people's freedoms and right to express ideas without fear of cancellation or public reprisal.

For now, Sayches is moving forwards, towards its goal of ensuring the internet is a free space that is not controlled by a few, extremely powerful companies.

We're happy to announce that Sayches' API is now public and available for all developers!

If you follow us, you will already know that we believe that social media is broken, filled with fake news, privacy issues, and a lack of transparency.

The current platforms have become corrupt, and we are unsure whether they can redeem their reputation.

Sayches.com allows you to be you, and we believe that sometimes newer is better.

From today, Sayches is fully open source and available on GitHub! 😍

Sayches Open-Sources Its Flagship Product

Sayches Ltd has announced that Sayches, the anonymous social media platform, will be fully open-source from December 8th, 2021. This decision to open source and make Sayches' flagship product available on GitHub is seen by many as an earnest commitment to transparency.

In addition, Sayches have simplified its privacy policy by reducing it from 800 words to 300 words to make it easier to understand how users' data is used. Most online policies are written for judges, and Sayches believes that policies should be presented as clearly as the contents of a food package.

NEW YEAR.
