The social network this world might just need.

It's a bravement statement, but if social media was ever needed, it's shcked. Read on.

New, simple, no bullsh😮t social networking for the modern age

shcked is an entirely new, zero baggage entry into the social networking scene, offering a no-nonsense, protective, simpler means of socialising online.

Built by two guys on laptops, our determination is to bring text-based social media back into fashion.

No reels, videos, or complex photo manipulation tools (aside from basic filters). Connect with your friends, family and likeminded individuals by getting straight to the point.

Taking your data and privacy seriously. No, really.

Data mismanagement, like collecting intrusive amounts of personal data for shady reasons, selling data to the highest bidder, or losing data to external forces, is disgraceful. Personal data is just that - personal.

shcked operates a strict, barebones approach to data collection - only requesting limited pieces of data required to build your site presence. In doing so, your data will be housed securely (we mean it) and treated with the respect it deserves. Your data is not, nor will ever be, for sale.
