Smith and Wesson Kicked Off Facebook
Timothy Birdnow
Meta/Facebook has been under scrutiny for censorship since the election of 2020, at least, and actually before. Mark Zuckerberg claims that is not so, and many, even good conservatives, try to defend the Zuck by claiming it is his underlings and not he himself who promotes censorship.
Well, if that is so why is it STILL happening? Facebook just kicked gunmaker Smith and Wesson off indefinitely with nary an explanation of WHY the company was kicked off fifteen years after it started a Facebook page.
Elon Musk and X have welcomed them with open arms.
The company had this to say:
I would add a personal note here; Facebook kicked ME off just before the election. No warning but I tried to log on and received a notice saying my account was no longer in service! I've been locked out since. The timing is quite telling, as it was just a week or so before the election.
Time to break up Meta/Facebook.

"Despite our extensive efforts and resources spent on trying to adhere to Facebookâs ever-changing community guidelines on firearms, our account was suspended indefinitely on Friday, November 22nd, 15 years after its original creation,"
...
"In an era where free speech and the right to bear arms are under constant attack, we want to thank @elonmusk and @X for supporting free speech and our constitutional rights guaranteed by the 1st and 2nd Amendments,"

Indeed. Past time, in fact.

Agreed Dana. Should have happened years ago.

I saw on Fox News today that Smith & Wesson were re-established on Facebunk. I just saw the headline -- didn't read the details as I was pressed for time.
