    Friends of mine have recently noticed that any group or individual selling a gun or firearm is being censored and deleted immediately from any Facebook page as well, hunting/firearm groups are completely gone.

    Not a FB user but not a fan of censorship:confused:

    Anyone else noticing this?

    Yep. I'm not on fb, but it was big news to many. Just another reason to stay away from the idiocy that is social media imo.

    I'm not on FB very much, but I've heard the same thing. A lot of them can disappear for all I care, just seems to be the same guys trying to sell firearms at inflated prices, or poach from guys that don't know values.

    What my wife throws at my head when I'm being a jackwagon? :)
    I don't FB, never will.
    Seems like a really poor place to engage in anything firearms related in the first place.

    I've found the past few months I only get on fb about twice a week, rather than the once a day it used to be. Maybe it's time to suspend my profile. Not that fb will care much about losing me, but it's irritating when they get involved in politics like this.

    I was on FB a few years ago and it didn't take long to leave. There is a new site called MeWe that does not take an anti-gun stance. I have joined and so far there are lot of gun related forums. The best thing is that there is privacy that FB does not have.
