Fotolikein? What is Fotolikein?

Fotolikein is an online social network (for mobile devices and PCs) that allows people to create profiles and post photos and videos about themselves and their friends. Fotolikein is offered as an application for smartphones (iOS and Android devices), as well as as a website for personal computers.

Fotolikein: anonymity with responsibility

Fotolikein is a global social network that now belongs to fotolikein.com , one of the largest and oldest photo and video brands in the world. Fotolikein is currently visited by 150 million unique users from 150 countries speaking 57 languages every month. And 40 percent of our users are under the age of 18.

The new management of Fotolikein is convinced that we are responsible to all our users, especially those who are under the age of 18 and who are still going to school. We are very interested in ensuring that everyone, and especially young people, are familiar with all the features and security features on Fotolikein and receive proper, but kind and empathetic guidance on their journey through the digital world. Often, the teenage years are a path of self–discovery. Platforms like Fotolikein can make this journey easier by providing users with an anonymity option that promotes free and frank discussions, supports the expression of their own opinions, and allows teens to explore different points of view. It can and should also serve as a platform for building self-confidence.

Profile

The user's profile on Fotolikein displays the user's name, user biography, and the posts they post. Users have full control over their profile. They can optionally add and delete text, photos, or videos. Also, using the "Complain" button in his or someone else's profile, a user can send a message to Fotolikein if he does not like something or the way someone behaves.

Friends/Search

Users can search for friends on Fotolikein by the friend's name, username, or email address. They can also find friends from other social networks by linking their Fotolikein account to these networks..

Student protection

The following are some examples of existing security measures, as well as some steps that we have taken to improve security at Fotolikein after the transition to the new owner:

  • Prevention of illegal activities and distribution of inappropriate content.

  • Expanding the ability to report abuse throughout the site.

  • Preventing registration of underage users (under 16 years of age) on the website.

  • Providing users with the ability to protect themselves, block and unsubscribe from other users.

  • Work with law enforcement agencies in case of reports of illegal activities.

Fotolikein Security Management Tools

Fotolikein is a social network where people can post photos, videos, and comments to their profiles of others. Since Fotolikein aims to foster an environment in which users can communicate in a secure space, we offer users security management and privacy settings, as well as tips for personalizing Fotolikein.

Fotolikein offers users and visitors of the site clear tips on how to stay safer when using Fotolikein. Users are reminded that they are not obligated to take photos and videos if they are uncomfortable, or for any other reason. In addition, the following security management tools are available to Fotolikein users.

  • The "Block" button

    At any time and for any reason, users can block other users so that they cannot contact them. After clicking the button, the blocked user will not be able to see your posts. The lock button is a traditional crossed–out circle.

  • The "Complain" button

    Users can use the "Complain" button to report violent behavior, terrorizing, or harassment of other users to Fotolikein. If a user doesn't like what someone else has posted, they can use the flag icon to complain about the post. Fotolikein will review these situations, and users will be reminded that no one except Fotolikein will know that they have complained about something.

  • Finally, users are given direct access to more detailed information, and they are invited to familiarize themselves with Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, Safety Center.
