Tsū is an online social networking service founded in 2013. Tsū was created by Evacuation Complete, LLC, a Texas corporation, which was founded on February 7, 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Evacuation Complete LLC DALLAS, TX Wysk Company Profile )〕 Founders of Evacuation Complete are Sebastian Sobczak, Drew Ginsburg, and Thibault Boullenger,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=tsū )〕 and the site is headquartered in New York City. Tsū is open to new users via invite.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=tsū )〕 Like Facebook, after registering to use the site, users may create a personal profile, add other users as friends, exchange messages, post status updates and photos, and receive notifications when others update their profiles.〔 Tsu differentiates itself from competitors by allowing its users to maintain ownership of the content they post.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Exclusive: Tsū Launches as First Social & Payment Platform Where Users Own Their Content )〕 The inspiration for Tsū came from the story of Ed O'Bannon, the lead plaintiff in ''O'Bannon v. NCAA'', an antitrust class action lawsuit against the National Collegiate Athletic Association regarding the association's use of the images of former student athletes for commercial purposes.〔(The Social Network That Pays You to Friend ), Opinion Pages, The New York Times〕 Its name is said to come from the appreciation of the Japanese aesthetic, although there are crucial differences between the Iki aesthetic and Tsū. The Japanese writing of Tsū is used as the smiley logo. Tsū has been compared extensively to Ello, a contemporary social network that rejects selling user data as a product; Tsu's approach is to instead embrace the user as a product, and to sell data to advertisers and share the profits with the users as compensation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ello & Tsu: Are The New Me-Too Social Networks For Marketers? )〕 This approach appears to give the service some of the characteristics of a Multi Level Marketing strategy. In September 2015, Facebook banned any mention of Tsū from its platforms,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Facebook is censoring links to competitor social network Tsu and deleting old mentions )〕 saying that Facebook users had been reporting it as spam.〔 Tsū speculated that this move may have been motivated by fear of competition. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tsū (social network)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
