I posted that I had 520 rds of 62gr 5.56 ammo to trade, not sell, for some 9mm.
I got the FB nasygram today.

FB is in the business of harnessing and controlling people...for FB's profit and FB founder's vision.

FB founder and officers are not friends of those supporting 2A rights.

Their house, their rules.

No firearms related stuff.

Go in your profile and fill out your location. You might get some takers that way.

Yeah, you can't buy, sell or trade ammo. Mostly you get censored when somebody reports you but they do have their little keywords software. I post a lot of gun stuff and I posted the full video that proves Kyle's innocence but I've been put in jail for three days several times for stuff like calling a *** a *** or saying anything anti muslim.

Doesn't quite work that simplistically - although that's the dodge the uninformed use to justify the actions of the social media platforms.

The social media platforms want to be considered a carrier and not a publisher. Currently, they are under FCC Section 230 which requires them to be "neutral" just like Verizon, AT&T, etc. This means they cannot edit, alter, delete, or prohibit speech as they are simply carrying the information.

HOWEVER, they have gotten away with doing all of those things - despite the requirement of Section 230 for them to be neutral.

Now WHY do they want to operate under Section 230? ONLY ONE REASON - Section 230 specifically exempts, and shields, them from civil liability - and they avoid lawsuits.

Allegedly, the only way they can prohibit, edit, delete, or alter information is if they are a publisher. They are acting like a publisher and NOT a carrier. So, they want it both ways - no liability and to be able to censor what is being posted.

The reason they DON'T want to be considered a publisher is because that opens them up to lawsuits - so they're trying to have it both ways - be shielded from lawsuits while acting like a publisher.

IF they said, "Okay we'll operate as a publisher," THEN they get to claim "My house, my rules."

When the want to be considered a carrier shielded from liability with the written, legal requirement for them to be neutral - then you can no longer claim, "My house my rules."

Then perhaps someone needs to file a complaint with the FCC that they are not operating under the section 230 they are licensed under...hhmmmm.

FakeBook, like most of the socialist sites are owned by anti-American Marxists. I cannot understand why anyone that isn't a communist patronizes and puts $$'s in that icehole, Zuckerberg's pockets. I've never been a member and have never supported that icehole's site. He's been biased and discriminating against conservatives for years now and has been before congress twice, promising that his biased, crap company made mistakes when they banned or suspended conservatives. You have to be really dumb to continue to patronize his site. Unless you're also a communist that supports his communist views.

If you think Fakebook and other social media is censoring now, wait until
Nov. 3.....

I am afraid you are right. The only redeeming thing is when the commies are in power they will take Zuck(head's) money away and give it to the bureaucraps.

There are hundreds of Facebook pages devoted to buying and selling of firearms.

They exist because their rules say - DO NOT USE TEXT - pictures only.
Facebook censor software watches for the words buy, sell, purchase, etc
used in respects to firearms.

So by flaunting the page rules you got your hand slapped.
That's on you.

They must be stopped along with the rest who censor. Period
I censored them . . . . . It took about six weeks for my deletion of the sign-on to become
effective, but they have zero control over what I do, say or think.

Think about how fast they would reconsider their approach, if people just quit using
what they have going. :eek:

(delete your favorite expletive from here) them. :rock:
