[p2p-research] facebook and organizing, for and against

[Michel Bauwens]

Hi Kevin,

I'm  hoping you can mention and discuss this on our blog:

see http://cyberunions.org/2010/06/23/facebook-dangerous-for-unions/



For Eric, the biggest danger is that you have no control of what happens to
your data. He compares it to Geocities, which was a free web service, until
Yahoo shut it down, deleting 38 million pages. Who controls your data on
Facebook? Anything you upload becomes their property, not yours – so all
your friends and lists of activists and campaign details exist at the whim
of a company that is there to make profit. Facebook has deactivated trade
union accounts in the future, and will do so again.
