Started in 2008, the GE-Genigraphics Art Society is a non-commercial, educational organization of former Genigraphics employees and friends which celebrates the pioneering graphics work of the original, GE-founded, Genigraphics Corporation and its employees (1973 to 1994).

Genigraphics LLC – a small online printing company from Shawnee, Kansas which purchased the rights to the "Genigraphics" name in 1999, have complained to Facebook once again, and Facebook removed the popular Genigraphics Preservation Society alumini group once again - despite having a legally binding signed agreement from Mr. Jay Larson of Genigraphics LLC allowing us to use the Genigraphics name.

Throughout our negoiations with Mr. Larson we had always been reasonable, honest, forthcoming and willing to compromise. However, immediately after we fulfilled our part of the agreement (which included the transfer of our two Genigraphics domain names to him at no charge), the Facebook Group was pulled again. We have now lost over 250 images of alumni-submitted slides, ephemera, artwork, photos, writings, scans and other memorabilia from the original Genigraphics Corporation.

We always thought that Facebook was all about fan pages, alumni organizations and similar groups. Not anymore.
 
THOUGHTS ON FACEBOOK: Facebook does not represent or care about you, your friends, or your interests - they care only about the interests of their real customers – businesses and potential advertisers. Their warm and fuzzy "Social Network" is a front end for a dubious enterprise whose sole purpose is to harvest, mine and repurpose all our personal comments and data for the sake of selling games and products back to us through their targeted banner ads. The more suckers that sign up and share their lives, the more powerful they become. Facebook is now a faceless, monolithic oiligarchy which punishes anyone reported to be offending anyone else for almost any reason by pulling their content (guity until proven guilty) but offers someone faced with a real issue like ours, censorship (or any conflict with Facebook), no recourse for arbitration; with no contact information offered other than a general email address. And while Facebook knows way too much about you; but we know virtually nothing about them. Our "dispute" was baseless and our Facebook Group was essentially held hostage. Now we fear that all the images, videos, slides etc. that alumni posted on the 3-year old Genigraphics Society group will be lost forever. Thanks.
