There's nothing stopping their band from communicating with them, the block is only on links to news sites.

    Probably because you went off topic and got misunderstood by others. The comment you were replying to was saying people shouldn't be using Facebook for news, in the context of the article about the tax on links to news sites. It's not very clear what your reply about first nation bands have to do with that.
