Thank you, Steve!!! I've been avoiding Nextdoor for a long time, but
had not figured out how to alert Lincoln people about it. I'm very
grateful to you for getting the word out so well !!

Nextdoor.com is a for profit enterprise. It’s privacy policy
(https://legal.nextdoor.com/us-privacy-policy-2021/) is 26 pages long.
The policy ends with this ominous statement: “By continuing to use
Nextdoor, you understand that we may transfer and store your data
outside your home country, including to and in the U.S., as described
in this Privacy Policy.”
Preceding that warning, that document discloses the long list of data
is collects from its users and the long list of entities it shares
that data with. It also to “government identification.” Is that phrase
a euphemism for driver’s license or social security card numbers? If
not, what is does that mean exactly?
LincolnTalk has well served the community—especially now that the
rancorous discussions have abated. _It would be a shame if
Nextdoor.com seized enough market share from LincolnTalk to kill it._
It’s a real risk.
I hope that others will consider rejecting nextdoor.com and will
continue to use and strengthen the value of LincolnTalk.
Like garlic mustard, an invasive species, we’ve got to nip this one in
the bud to preserve our native species.

Steve Low
