BUZZ FEED NEWS
— These Women Are Only On Facebook For The Groups – Anne Helen Petersen (DIERSEN: Are you a Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain? Do the Democrats in your precinct have a secret Facebook group? If so, what do they post about you in that group? What if what they post is defamatory or libelous?) 
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/annehelenpetersen/facebook-private-groups-online-abuse
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Today, groups can be public (anyone can join at any time); private (you can request to join, but must be admitted by a moderator); and “secret” — the type you can only find if someone in the group invites you. . .Another described a secret group of people who live in deep “red” areas of the country and struggled with their communities and families after the 2016 election. “It’s been the only thing keeping me sane,” the member told me, “and definitely one of the main reasons I haven’t left FB.” . . . Keeping a group secret is the most efficient way to keep a group “in line,” whatever that might mean for a particular set of people. . . The “best” groups are the smallest and most secret because they’re cloaked from both the online and offline world — places where both myself and so many of the women I spoke to for this article feel invisible, unvalued, or objectified. The right group can provide the opposite of all that: a place where your voice feels visible, your opinion is valued, and your body is secondary — or discussed on your own terms.)
