Re: [Cz-L] New facebook group about the Jewish cemetery

Mimi,

facebook will not sell your email address, but facebook will suggest you to take Hebrew lessons and offer you flights to Ukraine. When facebook will find out that more people share your and mine interests they will sell this knowledge to the car industry, saying there is profit in returning to horse driven coaches with Yiddish speakinh horses.

Your question about the alternative describes the problem: There is none. Twitter: to short for what we have to share. Google+: Even worse concerning privacy.
