Facebook is not going like Dstrux

Even the founder of Dstrux, “the self-destructing file-sharing platform,” is concerned that Facebook will not like that his service now kinda-sorta supports the world’s most popular social network. Twitter, Instagram and other social-media platforms may not care for Dstrux either.

The reason is that the privacy protections and controls being touted by Dstrux as features would appear to undermine the business model that has made Facebook, in particular, a money-making machine: namely its ability to sell advertising against the posts and personal information of its users.

“Until now, anything shared on a social networking platform resides on the Internet forever in some way,” says Dstrux CEO and founder Nathan Hecht is a press release. “With Dstrux, users can choose to share a message, photo or file on any social network via your desktop, iOS or Android device and know confidently that it cannot be retrieved post-deletion because it was permanently erased from the Internet.”
