Re: [funsec] Corporate social media rules
I would always assume that anything you put on somebody else's site is subject to their editorial control, regardless of what any published rules or policies say.

And maybe alert other people to the fact that you a) don't fulfill on your promises, b) make lousy products, c) provide lousy service, and d) so on. Gloria ran into this today and asked me about the legalities of it.
