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.

By popular request, Facebook's "Threads" app has been added to this matrix.
This right here is what sets us apart. They exist to EXPLOIT you. We exist to SERVE you.
These are unedited screenshots pulled moments ago from the Google Play App Store.
They're telling you this themselves. #CoSoTips
You weren't going to go and read the data privacy disclosures of other social media sites, so we compiled them for you.
The short version: It's a dangerous world out there. #CoSoTips
^^ What separates CounterSocial from everyone else?
Download the "high resolution" version, and see for yourself. #CoSoTips
^^ ICYMI, there is nothing like CounterSocial.
Our closest "competitor" is light years away.
Why?
Because we exist FOR you, and they exist to EXPLOIT you. #CoSoTips
@CoSoTips thanks for this, it makes me even more thankful I'm here.
@CoSoTips It's worth noting that those app permissions aren't limited to those apps.
In one way or another, the right half of that graphic is watching *everything* you do on your device. 😬
@kel
Great work on this, and thanks for adding Threads.
One thing worth noting about Mastodon is that your data privacy varies somewhat by the decisions of each instance admin. This screenshot tells you what the app itself does, but what happens on the backend could be a different story as far as your data privacy.
That may be a bit too nuanced for posting on Twitter, but maybe people here will understand it.
Horrifying that Truth Social is safer than Twitter or Meta Products.
Excuse me while I go vomit.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Thank you!
@CoSoTips There should be a vast chasm of distance between us and Mastodon. #justsayin
@CoSoTips
I'm putting that on my blog. (I'm pretty sure it would get me kicked out if I posted it on Mastodon.)
A note on items flagged as misleading:
Some social media sites are declaring that they don't share data with third parties, but each has language in their ToS that allows third party disclosure.
Most declare that you can request deletion of your data, but none of them honor this request. They'll take your data off the public website, but it's always theirs.
We are the only social media site that takes your data privacy seriously. Your content isn't ours. It's yours. #CoSoTips
