Think before you post.
We're here to help.
ShareSafe is a pause button for the internet. Before you post a photo, message or screenshot, upload it here and our AI will ask you the questions you should think about first — so you don't end up sharing something that gets you, or someone else, into trouble.
What is ShareSafe?
Once something is posted online, it's almost impossible to take back. Screenshots get taken, posts get reshared and personal details end up in places you never expected. ShareSafe doesn't tell you what you can or can't post — it helps you stop and think so you can make the call yourself.
Upload it
Paste the caption or message, or upload the image you're thinking of posting. Nothing is saved — it's checked and then forgotten.
AI asks the questions
Our AI (powered by Groq) looks for things like personal details, other people's faces, locations, school uniforms or anything that could be hurtful.
You decide
You get a short list of questions to think about and practical tips. Then it's your call — post it, tweak it or bin it.
Three things working against you online
They rarely show up on their own. A dodgy quiz app, a viral headline and a pile-on in the comments can all happen in the same afternoon.
Your info, someone else's product
Photos can give away your school, suburb or daily routine. Apps and quizzes trade your location, contacts and habits to advertisers and data brokers. Once it's out, you can't get it back.
Built to make you feel first, think later
Misinformation spreads faster than corrections because it's designed around outrage and fear. Deepfakes and doctored screenshots mean "just look at it" isn't proof anymore.
A joke can turn into harassment
Posting someone without their say-so, or joining a pile-on, can hurt real people — and in Australia it can lead to school, platform or even legal consequences.
The Digital Safety Toolkit
Practical, specific steps you can actually do in the next five minutes.
Lock down what you share
- Check app permissions every few months and revoke what apps don't need
- Use a throwaway email for sign-ups you don't fully trust
- Turn off ad personalisation in your phone's privacy settings
Spot it before you spread it
- Check who else is reporting it — one screenshot isn't a source
- If it's designed to make you angry or scared fast, that's a red flag
- Reverse image search photos that seem "too perfect"
If it's happening to you
- Screenshot everything with usernames and dates before you block
- Block and report — don't engage with the harasser directly
- Tell a trusted adult, teacher or friend early
