Title: Facebook and CAP
Post by: DoubleSecret on May 09, 2016, 11:13:03 PM
Thing that made me go hmm:  Official wing Facebook page "liking" the pages of some members of the state's Congressional delegation.
I know some officials are more supportive of CAP than others, but this just smells wrong.  I can't imagine the official USAF page "liking" individual officeholders' pages. 

Thoughts?

Are you certain they aren't CAP congressional members?

Is there something about it besides the smell that is the problem?

Fair question re possibly being CAP congressional members, and I like some of them but even so ... it could be construed by some as an endorsement, and CAP should stay out of that.

Maybe they were using FB as the CAP page instead of their personal name but didn't know it. It's easy to do!

Yes. As someone who manages many pages for businesses and organizations ... I can attest to how easy that is to do. I had to go back and correct it often until I really started checking myself.

Not so much anymore.  They've changed things around again such that it doesn't really seem possible to continue to "be" one of your pages after you leave it.  Makes it harder to "like" stuff as your page too.

Or they were "liking" the professional official pages of elected members of the government so that they could stay in the loop.

Seriously, unless they were making posts in support of individual candidates, then there is truly nothing to see here.
