[ETC-Discussion] Facebook

[michaelcorn at comcast.net]

Tim- 



Without getting into other problems with Facebook, information about ETC consists of a link to our website and whatever personal information that ETC members choose to share about themselves.  I don't see anything of concerrn.  You can take a look for yourself. 



There is no exchange of electronic data between ETC and Facebook and its servers.  ETC's policy with regard to member information is stated on our website. 



I sincerely hope that you and others do not drop off this listserv as it is one of the ways we are able to communicate with one another. 



I am sure that Bob will fix the wayward link to the old website.  That odd message you saw was probably a programmer's sense of humor.  The old website will likely be left up for only a short period of time.

Dave... Are you implying there is no validity to the recent articles in the 
news and PC magazine?  Tim

A group "on Facebook" does not put any data about the group's membership on 
Facebook.  Lots of big corporations are on Facebook -- do you think that 
puts their corporate directories on line?  Of course not.  The FBI, CIA and 
NSA are all on Facebook, after all.  The only way there will be any 
connection between you and ETC on Facebook is if you create one by creating 
a Facebook account and "friending" ETC.
