I have never seen anybody attempt to impersonate Foundation Officers, Members, or Apache contributors on social media. Maybe it has happened to some individuals, but unless they're attempting to *defraud* the Foundation, then it isn't a problem to be solved. Personally, I see no reason for the Foundation to get involved with running a social media platform. We chose Slack specifically so that we don't have to host that kind of service. We write software, not solve the world's issues-of-the-week with social media. Cheers, -g
