Crossposting to Facebook

[lethargic_man]

In case it's not completely obvious, I do not give anyone permission to crosspost to Facebook comments on friends-locked posts in this blog; they're locked for a reason!

I am hoping LJ hear the fury this development has provoked and allow this "feature" to be disabled. Or I might end up jumping ship and moving over to DreamWidth too. (Reminder: I have seven DreamWidth invite codes still going, if anyone wants.)

You're forbidding people to post their own words to Facebook?

Obviously you should use your own discretion, but in general such a comment has the capability to include (a) subject lines, (b) quoted text, and (c) the comment content, all of which are indicative of the content of the locked post.

By making a post locked and then letting certain people see it, I am conveying that I do not wish what is posted there made more widely available. (I could put that in as many words on my profile page, but chances are no one would read it anyway.)

For public posts, anything, I reckon, is fair game; and indeed Facebook already automatically imports all my public posts; but I draw the line at crossposting comments of f-locked posts.
