In recent work via facebook, we have worked alongside members of the facebook site ‘Hands Off Community Development’ and Pavee Point to counteract racist websites. Two anti-Traveller sites (here’s what one of the offensive sites looked like) were removed by facebook after presssure from activists and concerned citizens.
It was a case of every cloud having a silver lining. Community workers and volunteers came together on facebook to work together to fight cutbacks and thanks to that coming together they were in a position to force facebook to close down the racist websites.
Meanwhile, it’s time this blog was brought to life once more. Feedback welcome.
