I don't single out FB. As an activist I 've joined actions, past year, against a planned coal plant in Antwerp, Belgium. Which they now have decided not to build. I'm not only targeting F.B. And the action against FB is not the only going on in the world against fossil fuels. Changes don't come at once. They come step by step. It would be great to be able to change the industry, as a whole, at once. But that is mere utopia. Now we need engaged entrepreneurs, who are willing to step up and set an example. At one side FB wants to boost about how energy efficient their new DC will be, while on the other side they decide to undo all what's gained by choosing for coal, for profit's sake, while there are sustainable alternatives for the region. It's a textbook example of greenwashing. Pretending to be something what you're not. @ S.U. I don’t single out FB.

If FB is so smart to scan a string, why not any warning if it contains something they object to? A popup f.i.? With every thing you do on FB almost a popup comes up. Or strip the string. It's just that they chose, whithout a warning, to disable the group. Which was very unfortunate in this instance, regarding the hits the group page was getting. At a point you could see the number of members rising by one or two with every page refresh. It's easy for FB to say afterwards that “this group was disabled in error". Then the group was reactivated for a few hours. In which people had problems joining the group or to reach the group page. Notifications that they couldn't join the group because the "feature was disabled" or there was an "error". I, as admin, got messages with anything I did that I couldn't do this or that, "because the feature was disabled or maybe I didn't have the rights to use the feature". In the end the group disappeared again for good. But I don't worry, another group was set up by Greenpeace and I have good confidence in it that the people who signed up for the first group will find their way to that group. @ Douglas: There are JavaScript groups and pages on FB which also publish lines of code.

By singling out a trendy company, it makes this seem like a publicity stunt.
