2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: #hillarysoblack? #bowdownhillary? [View all]Rob H.
(5,354 posts)167. That's not scrubbing. Not even close.
What bmus meant by scrubbing is removing a link to a potentially embarrassing area of a website, going in and deleting any incriminating posts, and then showing the original link again, which is what happened at the offsite Hillary group. Unless something has changed in the last couple of weeks, there's still at least one area of that site that's closed to all but original members, too--gee, I wonder why.
What you're thinking of as scrubbing would actually be a private Facebook group. Not the same thing.
