Hacktivism news was iirc one of the main uses of the list I suggested
when
I proposed the list and wrote the intro message and FAQ. I think it is
vital we have a forum where people can be kept up to date with how
hacktivism is being represented in both capitalist and alternative
media.
As I see it, without people finding, filtering and posting up to date
and
topical news items we wouldn't really have much to spark discussions,
which would mean the other main tenet of the list (discussion) would
fail
also.
news@tao.ca is for "for world events and analysis, resistance and
revolution, news from around the world providing intelligence and
context, with no guarantees". Many people may not want the 99% of other
news included in this hugely wide scope feed merely to get the 1% which
is
hacktivism related.
If people want a separation of news, discussion (and perhaps
organisation
and decision making) then perhaps we should consider creating other
moderated lists for this purpose.
Respect,
