When Connecting Means Chaos

It was meant to bring us closer. Instead, it left us exposed.

The social platforms we trusted turned connection into a commodity, harvesting personal data, fueling division, and giving strangers unchecked access to our lives.

At Squares 9, we built something different. A secure, private network where you decide who is in your world and what they see. No tracking. No profiling. No noise. Just real connection, on your terms.

"Social media lost its way when it stopped respecting the people who made it possible. We created Squares 9 to return to what matters most: trust, privacy, and real human connection. Squares 9 was built not just to repair the past, but to create a foundation that protects and inspires the people who join out platform."

- Founder, John Halotek

It Is Time to Talk Seriously About Your Data

Your personal data reflects your habits, emotions, preferences, and decisions. It holds immense value, yet many platforms quietly process and exchange this information to serve outside interests. Squares 9 was designed differently. Here, your data remains in your hands. You decide what is shared, who can access it, and when it is removed. There are no silent exchanges or shadow records. Every detail is handled with privacy and respect for the individual and their data.

The Power of End-to-End Encryption at Squares 9

Real privacy means more than promises. It means protection built into every interaction you have online. At Squares 9, we use end-to-end encryption to secure your messages, your photos, and your personal connections from the moment you create them to the moment they reach the people you trust. End-to-end encryption ensures that only the sender and the intended recipient can access your content. No one else, not hackers, not advertisers, and not even us, can see what you choose to share.

We Do Not Track, Profile, Or Compile Data On You

At Squares 9, your experience belongs to you, not to an algorithm. We do not track your behavior, build secret profiles about you, or sell your personal information to advertisers or data brokers. What you see, who you connect with, and how you interact is guided entirely by your own choices, not by hidden systems designed to influence or exploit you. Your time online should reflect your intentions, not someone else’s agenda.

Combating the External Threats to Your Online Experience

Social media was meant to bring people closer together, but today it often exposes you to manipulation, misinformation, fraud, and harassment. Algorithms are designed to push content that serves advertisers, not you. Bots and fake accounts blur the line between what is real and what is manufactured. Scams and digital identity theft hide behind familiar faces and popular posts. At Squares 9, we built a platform that protects your experience from these growing threats, keeping your time online genuine, private, and under your control.

Breaking Free from Endless Scrolling and Engagement Traps

Most social media platforms are built to keep you trapped in a cycle of endless scrolling, emotional triggers, and algorithm-driven distractions. What starts as a quick check-in can turn into hours of lost time, carefully engineered to serve ad revenue rather than your well-being. At Squares 9, we rejected this model completely. Your experience is designed to respect your time, your attention, and your control.

Stop the Bots, Click Farms, and Fake Engagement

Across traditional social media, bots, click farms, and manipulated engagement have blurred the line between what is real and what is manufactured. False popularity metrics create illusions of influence, making it harder to trust what you see and who you connect with. At Squares 9, we built our platform to protect the authenticity of every interaction. Every connection you make here is real, and every measure of engagement reflects genuine human presence, not artificial manipulation.

Reduce Your Exposure to Fraud, Scams, and Digital Identity Theft

Traditional social media platforms are built on public, crowd-sourced interaction, exposing members to millions of strangers without real barriers. This open design makes it easy for scammers, impersonators, and identity thieves to find and target victims. At Squares 9, we took a different approach. By eliminating open public access and creating private, member-controlled spaces, we dramatically reduce your exposure to fraud and digital threats before they ever reach you.

The Promise and Peril of AI in Social Media

Artificial intelligence is reshaping social media in ways most people cannot yet see. It can enhance security, personalize experiences, and automate valuable tools. But it can also learn to manipulate emotions, amplify misinformation, and erode trust faster than any system before it. Squares 9 was built with a strict ethical framework for AI use, ensuring that every tool we deploy strengthens protection, supports privacy, and preserves human connection. We are committed not just to today's threats, but to guarding against the risks AI will create in the years ahead.

Silence the Trolls & Bullies

No one has the right to harass you online. Yet on many platforms, harassment often goes unchecked, with little control and few consequences for the people who seek to cause harm. Public systems leave you exposed to random strangers who can attack, stalk, and intimidate without warning. At Squares 9, we built a private model that puts you in control. Only the people you invite into your Square can interact with you, and if trust is broken, access is removed completely.

Private Social Media Is About You, The Person

Every decision we made in engineering the platform architecture for Squares 9 came back to a single question: are we protecting the person behind the profile? We studied the failures of current platforms, uncovering how they burn people out, manipulate behavior, and leave personal data exposed. Instead, we created a private, human-centered platform where your time is respected, your privacy is protected, and your connections are real.

We Were Inspired By Historic City Squares

Before the digital age, the heart of every community was its square. It was a trusted space where people could gather, share news, exchange ideas, and build lasting relationships. These were places defined by connection, not chaos. Respect was expected. Privacy was understood. Trust was earned face-to-face. When we created Squares 9, we looked to these timeless human spaces for inspiration. We built a digital environment where connection is personal, privacy is protected by design, and your social life belongs to you again. In a world that is always changing, some principles are worth preserving.

We Focus on Fostering the Human Connection

Real connection is why people came to social media in the first place. To share moments. To find their people. To build something genuine. Somewhere along the way, those spaces became crowded with bots, fake profiles, and interactions that were more performance than friendship. At Squares 9, we created something different. We protect the integrity of your connections by minimizing fake accounts, discouraging empty engagement, and building an environment where sincerity matters. This is a platform for people who genuinely want to know each other, not just perform for each other.

We Care About Your Online Health & Well-Being

Spending time online should lift you up, not wear you out. At Squares 9, we believe your mental and emotional well-being should be protected and supported every time you log in. That is why we created a private platform that reduces anxiety, discourages comparison, and prioritizes respectful, meaningful connections. You are not just another profile. You are a person. And your well-being matters here.

Features Designed for Your Life, Not for Likes

At Squares 9, every feature was created with one purpose: to make your online life safer, simpler, and more meaningful. Privacy is protected. Connections are real. Your time and energy are treated with care. Social media should add to your life, not take from it. That is the experience you will find here.

Quality, Trustworthy Advertising

The quality and safety of advertising on social media can greatly influence the user experience. Many platforms display unregulated ads that feel like spam, click-bait, or push divisive political content, which can detract from the enjoyment of connecting with others. Squares 9 takes a thoughtful approach to advertising, ensuring that ads are safe, relevant, and free from disruptive or divisive content.

Square the Earth Initiative

Trust is not something we ask for. It is something we earn. At Squares 9, everything begins with protecting your privacy, your identity, and your control over your digital life. Our platform was engineered with future-ready security and transparent principles that put you first, every time. We are not a big data company. We are a private social media platform built for people who deserve better. A place where your information stays yours, your connections stay real, and your voice is never just another data point. This is the way social media should have been from the start — and it is the standard we will always uphold.

Squares 9: Where Private Social Media Empowers Control and Fosters Connections
