Saadi, who works with programmers and engineers in Kut, Basra and Samawa to keep the site running, is also taking his social responsibility seriously.
Neproo effectively censors any sectarian related debate, replacing sensitive words with a star symbol, and the software designer is also working on a plug-in that will censor violent photographs.
Neproo is a website especially made for Iraqi social media fans that doesn’t spy on users’ personal data the way Facebook does, Saadi insists. His aim is to create a site that individuals of all kinds can use safely, no matter what their ethnicity, religion or nationality.
Saadi has only had one minor hiccup so far and that was an attempted hacking by three other young Iraqis.
“I think of this as my future,” Saadi says. “I want it to be seen as distinctively Iraqi too and I hope I can stay here in this country to make it happen.”
Saadi believes that talented young Iraqis should try and stay in the country and not surrender to the nation’s current difficulties by leaving. But maybe that is also part of his next business plan.
“Currently I am working on a website funded by an international backer which supports young software developers with new ideas,” he says.
