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

[Paul Henman]

I agree. It is ethically dubious, unless you are a member of that group and all members provide proper informed consent.

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
