There are many serious problems with Facebook. It is as opposed to the concept of the open
Internet as it can be.
Every user is entitled to decide on his/her privacy level of course. But the problem with
Facebook is that it’s
similar to the old problems with Metoosoft's Office programs: it’s forced down the
users’ throats for
“compatibility” reasons. Users who move discussions to Facebook inadvertently hijaak
information for
the benefit of Facebook.
So, if relevant discussions of this group (or any others) are moved to Facebook the rest
are *forced* to
be Facebook users like it or not unless they are ready to miss some important
information.
Email mailing lists maybe are not the greatest, flashiest and triendiest of things. But
they are *open*. Let’s
not lose that open spirit, please!
