We have one. That group used to be an open group, but people who had no real connection kept coming in and creating conflicts. So, it was closed and membership restricted to people who were truly part of the group.
Facebook's closed (now "private"
groups are valuable, particularly to groups whose members are vulnerable in some way.
The company doesn't have to make such groups available, but it does. There are thousands of them, on almost any topic you can imagine. That is one of the most powerful things Facebook has enabled. I do not want to see that go away, just because some people see Facebook as only a political entity. It is far, far more than that.
The ability to quickly create a private group on Facebook, complete with messaging, photo sharing, and much more is amazing. That such groups are possible to create at no cost whatsoever is even more remarkable. It's a powerful gift to many communities which otherwise could not have such a space.
