The technology allows us to do everything, even to clean up our past by the moments that today can risultarci embarrassing: of course we’re talking about moments virtual, on two of those shared social currently in vogue. How to do? The answer is an app called Clear .
Clear is an application launched by thirty American Ethan Czahor , but that is the creator, in particular, the app user. Now you’re probably wondering, why? Czahor in February 2015 was hired as CTO in the staff of Jeff Bush, the former governor of Florida, but was fired after only two days. The reason? Some politically incorrect content shared on its social (mostly post sexist, homophobic and full of humor). But the reality is not always what it seems. Ethan Czahor explains on his blog: “After college I went to Hollywood to study improvisational theater. I used Twitter to test my sketch, were largely contained humorous addressed to my circle of friends. After changing career and finally got the job of my dreams these contents were decontextualized to make me look the person you are not, an operation that cost me my career. “
So, after the bad experience The thirty year old American actor has decided to develop Clear , an app that can be useful to many. The app is designed to clean up the accounts of Facebook Twitter and Instagram from content embarrassing past . It is based on an algorithm that searches all the post containing some keywords, then the user can decide whether or not to remove such content. It is currently available in beta only for iOS devices, but also coming soon to Android.
By the way, the experience from Czahor is not a singular case : according to a survey done last year, half of the companies that control the social network before hiring a candidate, they discover unwanted content in the 43% that do not lead to the assumption.
