Thank you psych chat, that is very interesting, to break it down then, basically these twitter/facebook links are already breaching this protocol. Is this correct? If so, can legal action can be initiated then?
Why not take it to the papers, I know people say all publicity is good publicity but this is not true at all. I work in News Media but not in the US.
One thing I can tell you is that if the general public find out that people posting for help and support in depression/mental illness forums have had their posts compromised by having them linked out to the general public via twitter/facebook or any social networking system, it will go down like a cold cup of sick. There's not much I can do from here unfortunately except leave.
Great research. C
