DeleteMe acquires social media security tool Block Party

DeleteMe, an online personal data removal service, has acquired Block Party, a social media security tool founded by Tracy Chou in 2018 to combat targeted harassment. Block Party originally focused on Twitter but pivoted to a multi-platform browser plug-in after Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter made API costs prohibitive. The merger brings social media protection and personal data removal under one roof, with no immediate changes for existing Block Party users.
