Hiya,

I personally don't think a ban on groups who use facebook is necessary. I
think the issue we need to deal with is groups who promote their use of
facebook through the northern-indymedia website. I.E. Linking to facebook
through northern, promoting facebook groups through northern.

If an event (such as a social centre benefit gig) is being advertised
through northern, that's ace. If it's being advertised on facebook as
well, that's fine, that is up to the people putting on the event. However
if the event on the northern site links to a facebook page, that isn't
cool because then northern would be promoting facebook (and facebook is
shit, I have assumed we are agreed that facebook is shit in theory
here...)

The ultimate aim is to make indymedia (as in all IMCs, not just northern
IMC) the place to go and find out about DIY events. Horray ofr DIY! (or
rather DIO - Do It Ourselves!)
