Facebook is censoring pro-gun rights posts and accounts. I'm thinking of opening an account just so I can get banned!

Quote:

Paul Joseph Watson: Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) is purging accounts that carry pro-second amendment and pro-liberty information in a censorship purge that has accelerated over the past few hours, with innumerable pages being disappeared merely for posting legitimate political content.

NaturalNews.com’s Mike Adams contacted us to alert us to the fact that “Facebook banned our account for posting this,” with an attached image of a Gandhi quote about how the British disarmed the citizenry during their rule in India.

Kind of amazing what companies will do for a buck.

Interesting. And here I thought Facebook had the ability to moniter content like...CKA. I'd like to believe the pro-gun side would be exhibiting the same outrage if Facebook started blocking the gun control crowd, but I doubt it.

No, I'd be doing that exact same thing. Censorship of political speech pi$$es me off. It is an act of cowardice no matter who does it.

My principle on this is that if your ideas cannot stand scrutiny then they're bad ideas.

Good call, Facebook.

Just went on Facebook and the National Association for Gun Rights and the NRA are still going strong.

Maybe those two aren't considered pro gun accounts?

Marketing to the bereaved is a inalienable right given to us by Ayn Rand.

Nor did they do anything about the child porn I reported, yet told me to delete a comment to a friends wall, defending a friend whose character was attacked. Funny huh.
