- Presently if you create a group, say, for instance, Rebuild Eastern Market , and it has 999 members, you can message them all through the group page. But once that group hits 1000, that functionality is turned off.
This rule is arbitrary and wrong. Groups are selective-- we the facebook users-- we have the power to join or leave groups and to choose whether or not to accept messages from groups.
Facebook should reverse this policy, or at the very least up the limit to something more... (read more) - Gizlilik Türü:

- We are getting a little attention for this group and were mentioned by Ben Smith in his Politico Blog.
"Facebook groups limit their owners' ability to communicate with group members after the groups reach 1,000 members. You can see the arguments in favor of this -- you don't want huge groups to turn into spam factories -- but it poses a particular problem for political organizers."

Of course this isn't about any particular TYPE of organizing - it is about all types of organizing ... but the attention is nice.

Facebook responded to our group on the wall, and much of the discussion here has been based on what they said. So you don't miss it, I'm pasting it below:

I'll give you guys the two angles on this from our side:
1. Technical limitations - Sending messages at that volume causes technical problems. We're looking into that, but it's not an easy issue.
2. Spam concerns - I disagree with the sentiment that users join groups knowing they're going to get messaged. Especially since the 1,000-member cap has been in place for so long, I think most users assume they won't get bothered by any large silly groups they join (e.g. "The Largest Group on Facebook", etc.). Sure, users can leave/join groups at their own discretion, but I think people would be really unhappy if they started getting spammed by large groups or felt like they couldn't join such groups in the first place.
That said, obviously there is a lot of utility in being able to message a large set of people for legitimate groups and causes like the one you describe. So we're actively looking into this issue to see if we can find the right balance here.
