Re: Facebook takedowns?

[Steve Terry <terrys () DENISON EDU>]

Dave -

At my last school, I had to deal with this on numerous occasions -
(President, Athletic Director, coaches, etc...)  Facebook has a somewhat
straight forward process: https://www.facebook.com/help/117152291702875
(Get your legal folks involved, too.)

For Twitter, it is trickier. As long as the twitter account makes the
distinction that it is not the actual "person" - they will allow an
impersonation.

Cheers!
