CONTAMINANTES

What iCan can't do: The BBC's iCan promises to 'change the world around you', by providing an online space for people in their local communities to talk to one another, read about issues that matter most and 'even start a campaign online'. [...]
Surely iCan should be renamed iCan't. No wonder the current featured campaign is about banning chewing gum [...]
More importantly, iCan encourages anonymity and unaccountability - hardly conducive to open, democratic debate, where the emphasis ought to be on publicly sticking by an argument or policy.
