Not their first PR stunt: I remember when Oxford Internet Institute gave Max Schrems some kind of fluff award back when he was starting out as a professional FB agitator. This whole letter reads as a somewhat patronising attempt to force FB into sharing their toys without offering anything in return. Once you go down the path of publicly shaming someone into working with you all hope for cordial collaboration must go out the window. Frankly, if OII want a slice of the company, shares are trading at $300 a pop right now. Not that I condone it, but shareholder activism feels like a more viable (and morally defensible) route. Bullying via PR fluff does not. Keep this up and the mob will be back to rattling pitchforks over Facebook harming kids by “refusing to add a Panic Button”. Perhaps that’s the goal — OII’s funding is proportional to the level of public anti FB sentiment? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/mobile/uk/8616980.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/mobile/uk/8616980.stm
