>  How do you define violent content?

you have had some complaints recently within my union with how you have 
defined violent activist groups. this has me concerned about my 
relations with "others" i.e. the larger community.

not that I use flora for this union activity whether it is violent or 
non violent. I use flora for the community garden network hosting and 
our email list is very very underutilised.

We are talking about categories of content. Commercial one category, 
community one category, sexist another category, defining information 
is in a way a right or a privilege. But we need a democratic way to 
define information. With so many people writing information daily we 
need headers or people reading all this information to filter it by 
category.

here is another question I think we might answer to help us clarify. Is 
information privacy invasion by a non-profit ethical? the law I have a 
little understanding of in terms of non-profits is the new privacy act.


just some thoughts sorry I can't reply directly to the thread.
