Facebook and Instagram advertisement.
Hi, is it essential for the project?
We might support this project because we want a better world for disabled people.
We might support OSM in general because we want a better digital and geo world via libre maps. Which enables the previous goal.
Thus if we want a better digital world we might want also to avoid directly funding Facebook and Instagram.
This doesn't mean not using them at all to relay messages about the project. But funding them for advertising is the direct cause of almost all the issues that are found with these tools.
It's a similar debate about whether to use them as main communication tools for the local groups. As opposed to only relays. Relays, to direct people to other communication tools that are more respectable. This is similar to why the fact that after sending a changeset, ID shows first Facebook, Twitter and Telegram links causes controversy.
It's about acknowledging the general political ideas behind OSM. They are there because OSM doesn't work like many dominant projects in the digital world. It's not the same principles about would can do what. (1)It's not the norm to be able to freely translate in any minority language nor to be able to freely add data and adapts pages for accessibility if the current state isn't good enough.
And also it's about that one should see broader than OSM because the same general political ideas and problems exist in the rest of the digital world. Now reread (1) thinking about Facebook and Instagram.
