SomeBuddy

SomeBuddy (formerly Someturva) has been created to protect and give first-aid to the victims of cyberbullying and online harassment. The increasing amount of online crime has posed a threat to individuals using social media, gaming and other platforms such as Facebook, TikTok and Fortnite. It has increasingly negative effects on people but also on the platforms whose users are under attack and who are economically dependent on the cash flow of their marketeers. The company was established in 2017 in Finland by a team with domain expertise in social media, law and social psychology. The revolutionary concept of offering affordable first-aid to social media users of all ages globally has been the very core of the company since it’s first background research in 2015. Artificial intelligence dominates the center of SomeBuddy scaling the expensive professional help to all of those who are in need - the team’s mission is to protect more than 2 billion people by 2025.
