MeetMe Reaffirms its Commitment to Industry Leading User Safety

08/24/2016

NEW HOPE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
MeetMe, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), a public market leader for social
discovery, today reaffirmed its commitment to industry leading user
safety for its more than five million monthly active users.

MeetMe makes user safety a top priority, devoting approximately 40% of
its entire workforce to regulating the content of its apps and
website. MeetMe employs a variety of human and technological filters to
monitor content, including a real-time human review of every newly
posted image. MeetMe has also developed a proprietary textual-monitoring
threat detection system that programmatically detects possible safety
issues and alerts its safety team of potential abuses.

MeetMe has a zero-tolerance policy for abusive behavior among its users
and encourages its members to report abuse, with a simple, one-click
reporting feature. MeetMe removes more than 1,000 user profiles per day
as part of its content review process. MeetMe also provides its users
with various privacy-setting options that allow them to manage who can
see their profile and make contact with them. MeetMe also allows its
users to block specific profiles entirely.

As part of its safety commitment, MeetMe promptly and proactively
reports instances of abusive behavior and inappropriate content posting
to the proper authorities. In addition, MeetMe promptly and proactively
reports potential safety issues (such as self-harm or potential suicidal
behavior) to local authorities.

MeetMe screens each new daily registrant against databases of known sex
offenders in the United States and regularly screens all active users
against these same lists, blocking registrations and activity from known
sex offenders. MeetMe has a proprietary age bracketing system to prevent
adults from communicating with and viewing the profiles of minors (and
vice versa).

MeetMe has taken numerous steps to educate its users – particularly
minors – about the dangers of online activity, and in particular, the
potential dangers of meeting a stranger in person. MeetMe prominently
displays safety messages to every new user of its mobile apps. MeetMe
never pinpoints users on a map, or gives their exact locations.

MeetMe created and operates SocialSafety.org,
an educational resource for online awareness.
