LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--College Tonight Inc. (OTC:CGEG) has brought renowned and respected crimefighter John Douglas onto its board of advisors, it was announced today by President and CEO Zachary R. Suchin. With its motto “Get On, Get Up, Get Out” encouraging students to explore their social communities by initiating online communication and then getting out into the real offline world of social interaction, College Tonight was founded with members’ privacy and security among its highest priorities. During his 25-year career in the FBI, Douglas pioneered the modern techniques in psychological profiling and behavioral science now used by law enforcement agencies throughout the United States; his expertise will help guide the use of technological tools being created and implemented by College Tonight to make it the safest and most private network of its kind.
“John’s expertise and advice are invaluable as we continue to craft a community geared towards free social expression,” Suchin said. “With unprecedented mobility must come unparalleled privacy protections. In our efforts to make this a network that thrives in the comfort of its base, the required .edu suffix is simply the first line of defense.”
Douglas commented, “I’m pleased to lend my years of experience to a community that is a refreshing beacon in the unregulated online struggle to find proper balance between free expression and privacy protections. I admire College Tonight’s being at the forefront of this serious privacy issue, in trying to tame the 'wild west' nature of the open Internet.”
College Tonight’s national spokesperson Lauren Conrad (“The Hills”) welcomed the opportunity to represent College Tonight in part because of its ongoing commitment to students’ safety and well-being. The Douglas appointment represents the next step toward meeting this commitment to the student community.
