But the real magic was in the comments. On the corporate-facing side, everything was sterile. On the real side, Proxy had built a second layer: a private, encrypted comment section hidden under a double-tap on the video. There, employees from three different companies—Sarah’s, a bank, a logistics firm—shared horror stories, union plans, and screenshots of illegal pay stubs. On Wednesday, HR called a mandatory all-hands. The CEO stood on the virtual stage, face tight.
Sarah had 300 followers. Mostly strangers who liked her videos of sourdough starters and her cat, Gyoza, falling off the couch. But last week, she’d posted a 15-second clip: herself in the breakroom, lipsyncing to a Chappell Roan song, with the text overlay: “When your boss says ‘we’re a family’ but the family doesn’t have a 401k.”
She added text: “Exhibit A.”
The reply came in three seconds. Live and shielded. You’re not alone. 2,341 other users across your company are doing the same thing right now. See you on the other side. Sarah closed her laptop. For the first time in two years, she smiled.

She clicked. Scrolled. Her stomach turned to ice. But the real magic was in the comments
A DM back instantly: Congratulations. Your content is now mirrored. When HR searches for @sarah.bakes.alot, they’ll see a clean feed: cat videos, recipe cards, a bland apology for “any misunderstanding.” Meanwhile, your real audience sees the truth. This is a proxy. Keep posting. We’ll handle the rest. She tested it. Logged out, searched her own handle on a friend’s phone. There it was: her last five posts replaced with a video of Gyoza sleeping and a pinned comment: “So grateful for my supportive workplace!”
