    2 days ago I was exchanging messages with an acquaintance on Messenger. He mentioned a class to me, but the timing was not right. I had spent my "funny money" for the month. I replied that if I could sell my 2 guns, I could afford the classes. Within minutes I received a message from Facebook that my account had been suspended because I was not meeting their "Community Standards"! What!!!

    I was informed that I could appeal my suspension during the next 180 days or be banned forever from FB. OK, I clicked on the link to go through their bland appeal process as I had been in the infamous FB Jail before. Nothing new. If it was anything like before, FB really didn't care about the facts. They were more concerned about controlling the content matter. Guess again. This time FB was wanting all of my vital statics PLUS a photograph of me taken within the past year! OMG! The Americanization of the Gestapo is here!!! I refused to comply and immediately deleted everything FB related from my computer & cell phone. Not good enough. I received an email from FB within minutes telling me of my appeal procedure. I deleted their email. Goodbye FB.

    People, IMO, we are on the verge of a totalitarian society in which compliance with Marxist rules will be enforced, or we will be ostracized - cut off from public communication, and if that doesn't work then the government will have the option of cutting off our digital currency. If you are unaware, the government wants to do away with currency and have all transactions done digitally - the ultimate control freak's gloryhole. The writing is on the wall for all to see, but only if we open our eyes and voice our opposition.

    It's all computer generated, and just one wrong work will set it off. No live person ever sees it.

    You know there is only one way this gets stopped.

    Personally I don't get the appeal of Facebook.
    There are several good groups for hog hunters, and even more for other types of game. Genealogy is also a big attraction. For instance, I belonged to 7 genealogy groups and 3 hog hunting groups. The problem is that the hunting groups are so closely monitored. Right now it is becoming very apparent that FB is doing their best to control pro-Trump sentiments. No FB Jail - just immediate suspension with 180 days to appeal according to and in compliance with their Gestapo inquisition or be banned forever. It is a sad state of affairs.

    I canceled my FB account a very long time ago.

    Saying the "G" word on Facebook is like saying "Nancy Pelosi" here.
    I posted pictures of us shooting at the Ben Stoeger class, my son and I shooting full autos and other random gun pics, no issues.

    I was very anti FB for a long time and then a situation came up where it seemed I should observe some things for a while. Now I’m a fan, I keep up with Marines I haven’t seen in years and folks I grew up with in NC.

    To the OP, why support those who stand against you then get twisted when you get slapped down? Nothing is free. They are making $ off you. Why support that by funding their assault? How did peeps keep in touch prior to FB?
