[Air-L] Accessing data from closed groups on FB?

[Nathalie Maréchal]

I have to ask -- how do you address issues of informed consent and
privacy in this situation? It seems to me that by forming a closed
group, members are making a explicit choice to keep their communications
private within the group. It seems to me that attempting to acquire that
data, and particularly to pay Facebook for this data, would run afoul of
most IRBs, would it not?

Kind regards,

Nathalie
