Let's take a close-up look at the "data privacy" disclosures of other social media services, as listed on the Google Play App Store.

The punchline: CounterSocial collects and shares ZERO data. No other social media site can claim the same.

Facebook has been blocking links to us for years, but they probably can't block this picture if you wanted to share it with your friends. #CoSoTips

Are you confused by the interface here? We admit, it can be a lot to get used to.

Here's a handy overview. We hope it helps!

If it doesn't, try using the mobile app. It's streamlined for ease of use. #CoSoTips

Have you joined us from Twitter, but aren't quite sure how to tell your people where you've gone? If so, we have just the thing for you!

What's the difference between a free account and a Pro account? We're glad you asked! #CoSoTips

CounterSocial has been online for almost seven years, and every violation of its ToS has been handled *immediately*.

Not hours, or days, or weeks, or months later.

Immediately.

Every time, 100% of the time.

There isn't a social media platform on the planet that can say that and mean it. Only this one. #CoSoTips

Did you know that you can also REPORT direct messages?

It's true!

Don't endure a single moment of creepy abuse. Just submit that report, and if it's violating the ToS, sit back and watch it disappear. #CoSoTips

We could elaborate quite specifically about how every other social media platform is deliberately manipulated to exploit their own users, or we could simply point to our top pinned post and let you good people draw your own conclusions. #CoSoTips

Some intrepid CoSonauts who are far better at math than us have done, well, the math.

A Pro account costs a scant $0.17 per day.

Seventeen pennies.

We can't think of anything that provides better value than that. #CoSoTips

CounterSocial is unique, but then you already knew that.

What you should be asking yourself is, what makes it unique?

It's simple. Unlike *every other social media platform in the world*, CounterSocial has not sold out.

There are no ads. Your data is not for sale. We collect zero information about you, except for the email address you used to sign up for an account.

We can do this because we have a legion of Pro subscribers who pitch in to keep it that way.

Join them. #CoSoTips

Other social media platforms will happily leverage terrible events to keep you clicking for more.

CounterSocial is different. During times of widespread distress, we will frequently remind you about the TEMPORARY FILTER, MUTE, and BLOCK features, all of which are highly effective tools for keeping your CoSo experience copacetic. #CoSoTips

We aren't saying that you should downvote review bombs while you're there, but some things are just so convenient thay they can't really be ignored. #CoSoTips

Now that CounterSocial is back on the Google Play store, this would be an excellent time to leave us a positive review. #CoSoTips

CounterSocial's SANITIZER does such an effective job of scrubbing ALL metadata that it can sometimes affect how photos are displayed in the timeline because it also removes the ORIENTATION metatag from the pictures you've taken.

You can fix this by making a small edit to your photo (crop, resize, recolor, anything) and try uploading that.

CoSo veterans prevent this issue by taking thier pictures in landscape orientation in the first place. #CoSoTips

"Why does my post authoring window say 'SANITIZER'!?"

One of the more understated yet awesome features of CounterSocial is the sheer length we go to in order to keep you secure. SANITIZER assesses what you post, and removes any metadata that might've been accidentally included.

What metadata you ask? ALL OF IT. SANITIZER scrubs your links and media to remove all of the hidden details that they sometimes contain.

To deactivate it, simply add the word "NOSANITIZE" to your post. #CoSoTips

"What is ADMS, anyways!?"

That DIRECT MESSAGE (DM) is often great in the moment, but we think that there's usually very little reason for it to stick around.

That's why we added the:

Automatic
Direct
Message
Scrubber

If enabled, the ADMS Pro account feature will automagically delete any DM you send or recieve, keeping your DMs column nice and tidy. #CoSoTips

Dear Google,

In order to comply with your super bizarre request to add a feature that we've always had, we've added a new feature that more clearly indicates the feature we've always had. #CoSoTips

This flag. Here. 👇

CounterSocial, the most well-moderated social media platform in existence, has been temporarily removed from Google's app store because—wait for it—they say that there isn't a way to REPORT objectionable content.

We're posting this information to encourage Google to tap on the three dots located on the bottom of EVERY post. It's right there. #CoSoTips

CounterSocial provides excellent resources for staying informed about current events.

It also provides helpful tools for avoiding them.

If you don't want to hear about Iran or Israel, you can set up TEMPORARY FILTERS to automatically hide those topics from your timelines. #CoSoTips

Note: All uploaded media is subject to size limits. For audio and video, that's 40mb. For images, it's 8mb.

Files larger than this will not be posted to the timeline. This is to preserve both your bandwidth and ours. #CoSoTips

"Why are my photos uploading sideways!?"

The short version: You're taking them wrong.

The long version: To protect your privacy, CounterSocial scrubs all media to remove every Meta tag, including the one that dictates orientation. You can make your photo right-side-up by making a small edit (crop, color, etc.) and saving that as a new image before uploading it here. #CoSoTips
