Confirm. io’s main objective is to use technology to protect people on the Internet. In addition, this platform has the exclusivity of API technology, that is, it has the ability to apply the biometric system to images and documents to declare their authenticity.

This is precisely what has attracted Facebook’s attention. Confirm. io could help this social media site to verify user accounts, search for stolen accounts and even use it to clearly identify all its users.
