Dear all,
does anybody know about Facebook's policy with regard to sharing content (gathered via the Facebook Graph API) publicly as a corpus?
We created a corpus that contains the raw message text of the posts of an open Facebook group, i.e. the messages are visible to anybody who visits the group. We also do not share any other metainformation such as the author's name or the date of the post.
I am, however, a little reluctant to publish the corpus on the web, as I have not come accross many publicly available Facebook corpora so far. In addition, I know that other social media services, Twitter in particular, have rather strict rules of the road that do not permit to share Tweets outside the Twitter platform (the only workaround is to share a list of Tweet-IDs, as e.g. at http://trec.nist.gov/data/tweets/)
Kind regards
Manuel
