[Chapter-delegates] Sad news from ISOC Poland

[Tommi Karttaavi]

Patrick,

I don't know how 'beneficial' this is, but at the meeting I said 
something to the effect that ISOC Finland's board made a decision not to 
be on Facebook because

a) some of our members a very privacy conscious and don't want to be on 
Facebook

b) Facebook's business model seems to be in direct contradiction with 
ISOC's core values (you know, openness of the Internet etc)

We are using Twitter, however, and quite recently opened a YouTube 
Channel (with only one video for the moment), so it's not that we are 
opposed to social media per se. We just didn't feel that Facebook was 
right for us. At the meeting last week I also suggested that we should 
look into things like Diaspora for more open, standards compliant and 
distributed platforms.

But I don't want to make too big a deal out of this, and as for the 
ISOC-LU FB page, I'm already liking it :)

Best,

Tommi
