They should have invited Samaa’s social media manager (that was me at the time) to ask just how difficult it was to be in a position where you have to manage hate-mail etc yet stand up for the corporate entity that pays you every month for the Maya discussion. Social media, corporate censorship etc would have been a good discussion.

It’s the same people at ALL these gatherings. Dont make social media a clique and use it for your ‘GTGs’
