Hi Simone.
If the facebook page is the only - or primary website, I would agree to
use it as website.
That is sometimes the case, and I agree, that this should be in OSM as
any website at a dedicated domain or whatever.
But:
A facility that has it's own website, most likely linking to the other
ones, and uses platforms like facebook, twitter and much more for
communication or advertising means, I don't think it's valuable to add
all these to osm.
That leads to trillians of URLs in osm with hundrets of different tags,
and as a result neither the osm data consumer nor another mapper has an
idea about where to look to find crucial information about the facility
in the web.
regards
Peter

opening hours and operators [...] are intrinsic
properties of these amenities. Links to web pages *about* the amenity
on third-party websites are not intrinsic properties.
I think this is exactly what we disagree about. If I, the owner of a
shop, create a Facebook page to keep in touch with potential
customers, then that is a part of my business just like my shop is. Of
course, I would oppose adding the link to a page about that shop in a
shop directory, but if the web page is maintained by the company
itself I don't see what's the difference between the opening hours and
the web page. Does the shop need to put on a sign in the window with
the URL to the site, just like it does for opening hours?!
Notice that I'm not talking about *any* page in the internet where
that amenity is advertised. I'm talking about a (social) activity by
the amenity owners or managers themselves.
Ciao,
Simone
