       "Curator and art historian Ruben Cordova thought that Facebook was the perfect platform to archive the photographic materials equivalent to almost a decade’s worth of his research. [...] [On] November 16..., [Facebook] permanently disabled his account due to an alleged violation of community standards banning sexually explicit content. And with that, Cordova lost access to 9 years’ worth of aggregated resources and materials."https://hyperallergic.com/472706/facebook-censors-art-historian-for-posting-nude-art-then-boots-him-from-platform/

       disappointing bit at the end: "And if Facebook reverses its decision, will Cordova return to the platform? 'Yes, I absolutely want to stay,' he tells Hyperallergic. 'I want my account back, and I want to continue posting. I have made numerous excellent contacts through Facebook. Many people respond to Facebook messages, but not to emails! Right now, I am unable to contact most of the people I know personally because their phones or email addresses have changed.'"

       @aparrish I feel like libraries and librarians need to own this a little too. In my classes it's nothing but social media cheerleading.  If someone raises these issues (or privacy issues) there's crickets for a response.  Librarians need to start discussing corporate, centralized social media as a (un?)necessary evil. @ruth

       @ron @aparrish It definitely depends on where you're discussing it. Some fora are pretty good for noting privacy, but yes there's far too much unquestioning platform-tie-in stuff

       @aparrish this is a sad story for many reasons none more pertinent than an academic placing blind faith in an organisation that puts profit before people.
