    I know, man. I was responding to the comments about why do people use Facebook? And the answer is that First Nations governments use it to communicate with their membership.

    And for pointing out this simple fact I got downvotes for no fucking conceivable reason

      Probably because you went off topic and got misunderstood by others. The comment you were replying to was saying people shouldn’t be using Facebook for news, in the context of the article about the tax on links to news sites. It’s not very clear what your reply about first nation bands have to do with that.
