I'm sure you realised my comment was tongue in cheek, but in response the bit you quoted refers to not using social media sources without a link.
Rule 5 may have been better given the post content:
5. You will not use ASEAN NOW to post any material which is knowingly or can be reasonably construed as false, inaccurate, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise in violation of any law. Topics or posts deemed to be scaremongering, deliberately misleading or which deliberately distort information will be removed. In factual areas such as news forums and current affairs topics member content that is claimed or portrayed as a fact should be supported by a link to a relevant reputable source.
I submit that this comes under the "In factual areas such as news forums and current affairs topics" banner (my emphasis)?
