Self-destructing file-sharing platform DSTRUX has announced the extension of its services to social networking platforms.
Until now, the New York based startup allowed users to share sensitive business documents online with complete control in their hands, as the shared documents could not be printed, screen captured or copied or saved, reported Re/code.
Once the document was viewed it vanishes, a feature similar to Snapchat.
With the extension of its service to social media channels the service will allow users to self destruct posts and images on command in Facebook and Twitter.
Dstrux is expected to act like an intermediary that will host the posts and generate a public link which has to be clicked to view the content.
Once the photo or message is displayed DSTRUX will disallow screen capture, downloading, copying, printing or altering the image.
DSTRUX CEO Nathan Hecht said: "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."
"It basically comes down to ownership. Do you own your content or does the social network? Up until today, the social network had exclusive rights to your files and the way they are archived online.
"DSTRUX lets the user maintain ownership of their content for as long as they want it to be viewed."
