CounterSocial has been doing social media right for over five years. It goes without saying, but what we have here is really special.

Today in history

• On this date in 1910, the Boy Scouts of America was incorporated.
• In 1924, the first execution by gas in the United States took place at the Nevada State Prison in Carson City as Gee Jon, a Chinese immigrant convicted of murder, was put to death.
• In 1968, three Black students were killed in a confrontation between demonstrators and highway patrolmen at South Carolina State University in Orangeburg in the wake of protests over a whites-only bowling alley.

We protect you, and that is why we must issue this rare warning.

Other actors in the social media space are not as benevolent as we have proven ourselves to be. They will insist that your security is their top priority, even as their ToS and Privacy Policies are littered with language that seeks to exploit you.

We built a community. They built a lucrative source of exploitable revenue. We encourage you to be where you want to be, but please be careful. Things are not what they seem out there.
