<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hi Samson,<br><br></div>I think that you missed the point of what James said. Facebook engages in lots of tracking and questionable business practices, see the Stallman article on this subject [1]. Maybe adding a link could be acceptable (however do we want to send the message that we endorse facebook?), but I would be against adding a "like button" - which allows facebook to run whatever code they want on our page.<br><br></div>Also, why do we want Q&A on Facebook? We already have social help, which is arguably a platform better suited to hosting discourse (infact it uses a software package called discourse which specialises in just that). Social help is also embedded in Sugar, whereas facebook is not. Even if facebook was a slightly better service for this, we are then allowing facebook control over our communications with our users. We are putting a lot of trust in an for-profit company, which produces non-free software (ethically opposite to Sugar) and allowing them to censor all of our communications with users. I'm not cool with that.<br><br></div>Thanks,<br></div>Sam<br><div><div><div><br>[1] <a href="https://stallman.org/facebook.html">https://stallman.org/facebook.html</a><br></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Jan 26, 2016 at 6:59 PM samson goddy <<a href="mailto:samsongoddy@hotmail.com">samsongoddy@hotmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
