"When security and public order are threatened the party invitations via Facebook should be banned in advance," he told Welt am Sonntag newspaper the interior minister of the state of Lower Saxony, Uwe Schnemann.
Also the minister of the Interior of North Rhine Westfalia, Ralf Jger, going the same way. "If there is evidence of danger to participants or to third parties through Facebook called, local officials should prohibit the act," he said.
Since its Bavarian counterpart, Joachim Hermann, warns that an "innocent invitation" to a birthday party can quickly become "a serious security problem", with unpredictable consequences.
The controversy about the social networking calls began in early July, when a teenager from Hamburg made an invitation to your 16th birthday Through Facebook (it wrong and did it openly). Flocked to the anniversary more than 1600 people.
More than a hundred police officers had to be called to control the situation, with 11 participants at the party held for assault, property damage and resisting police.
In the middle of last month the police were called to disperse several parties through Facebook, including one in Wuppertal, West Germany, to which 800 people spontaneously rushed, and in which the police arrested 41 young people. 16 still led the party injured.
Schnemann requires that young Germans receive information in schools about the dangers of Facebook and acknowledged that "teens do not know, on many occasions, they can pitch."
Still, he cautions that these gatherings could potentially become the parents of kids that call upon to cover costs of the situation in many cases thousands of euros.
On the other hand, Hermann notes that the person making the call might take on other costs, since many of the people who come to these meetings - even without being asked - just do it to cause trouble.
"If you open an investigation, the charge for the call may even have to assume the costs of police deployment," considers the holder of the Interior of Bavaria.
