“We have privacy settings which is built for the purpose. User phone numbers are not also visible to other users and personal information is not visible.

 

“We have the admin panel for the team use. They can see any posts and other things but cannot see the chat conversations. We can delete videos, and pictures, if there is a report, an account can also be deleted after scrutiny by the admin. Also, users’ pages can be modified. Misinformation and fake news can be handled and taken down when users report issues and we confirm them as fake. Same goes for gory contents”, Ishaq also said.
