		<description>Colin,

Thank you for posting this - you are very right about transparency. There aren&#039;t any clear online ethics (that I know), and while this suggestion is quite powerful, it&#039;s all too easy for issue campaigns, particularly astroturf groups to take advantage of online anonymity. It&#039;s also common for campaigns to approach social network &quot;influencers&quot; to host events for them. Again, if its on the up and up, great, but if not, who knows what would happen to offline organizing via social networks.</description>
