FACEBOOK WARNING

[MountainGirl]

That can be controlled on a Facebook page. I have a FB presence for my forging activities and I'm the only one who can post there. There are groups on FB that allow members to post, but lock down interaction from non-members. It's not quite the wild, wild west.

Right, all that is on the end-user side (You).
My reference is to the back-end FB ability to alter, and they do.

Worst part I've experienced with them is their stupid automated content moderation. Had a friend asking about single shot .410 shotguns. I recommended one to him and linked to an Academy sale ad...and got a warning for "selling firearms" - bacause apparently it thinks my name is Academy Sports and Outdoors.

I left them 5-6? yrs ago, when their message side refused to send a pm to a friend that had a link to a conservative site, with FB's explanation being it was "against community standards". Pffft.

Wow, I've never run into the censorship that deep there. And a LOT of my friends there are extremely non-socialist.

MG,

I've totally given up on any kind of phone...don't even carry a an old 'flip phone' any longer.

I don't advise anyone use FB as their interface for Texas Gun Talk. The site has only a placeholder presence there but it's not the primary way the site is intended to be interacted with.

If the owner decides to change that, he could. For now, though, nobody should treat TGT as "a place on FB"; in practical terms, it isn't.
