Forthehack had two goals with launching pleaserobme.com. Engagement with the online privacy issue and with the brand, Forthehack. Social media help us, highly social animals, to get engaged. The rate at which new technology develops allows us to do more amazing stuff every day. It’s important to reconsider basic things like privacy at the same pace. Forthehack focuses on launching hacks that engage!

Always wanted to know how big your e-Penis is?

People all over the world, including celebrities like Demi Moore, wanted to know what their size was.

Today the same guys, Barry Borsboom (@m0nk), Frank Groeneveld (@frankgroeneveld) en Boy van Amstel (@boyvanamstel) launched www.PleaseRobMe.com.
