My personal preference is to NOT link to Facebook. I think they use the
energy of people enough already.
However, I also think it is up to local communities to decide what works
for them best, there is no "one size fits all" here, IMHO
best,

Speaking only for myself, not as a member of the board, I don't know of
any legal or other reason why this should not be done. I think we
should be very careful about links or appearance of endorsement
especially on article pages, but outreach to people in the world should
take place wherever we find a willing and useful audience.

reject it.
