The American firearms manufacturer Smith & Wesson, which since 1852 has been a leading manufacturer of pistols, revolvers, rifles, and shooting accessories, joined Facebook 15 years ago. It’s now been kicked off of Facebook for breaking the rules by posting stories about … wait for it … weapons.
“Despite our extensive efforts and resources spent on trying to adhere to Facebook’s 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. While we work to reinstate our account, we encourage our 1.6 million Facebook followers and fans to seek out platforms that represent these shared values,” the company wrote on X, where its account has 500,00 followers.
Daisy BB gun wrote a sympathetic response, saying it’s having the same problem with Facebook.
“We at Daisy (yes, the Red Ryder BB gun company) totally understand and echo your thanks to @elonmusk for providing us a platform that still supports freedom of speech. We, too, are on our last legs at the meta platforms. Sad,” the company said.
Because of Facebook’s uneven rules, this story will not be included on the Must Read Alaska Facebook page but will be found on X.
Zuckerberg Is a crybaby liberal. Changes the rules whenever he is butthurt. Harris lost get ready for more of it
Yes and all zucks body guards are armed . But all us peons should not be armed. See how this works???
All you Facebook enablers love to have your 1st amendment rights stomped on. Also you don’t mind Zuckerberg doing election interference for the democrats. I sleep great at night without Facistbook.
“…….. I sleep great at night without Facistbook………”
Hear, Hear. I have no clue why people engage that silly app. I’ve never gotten involved.
Is that a social media platform that face what’s you call it. ??
You can function just fine without Facebook.
Why any America Firster would support, participate in, or buy from any of these America hater progressive companies / social media sites is beyond me.
It’s time to develop and support alternative sites.
X, Rumble, Truth Social, etc.
C’mon RINO’s.
Best thing I did was get out of FB it’s only making that cry baby more $$ after all he stole fb from the others..
Drop WasteBook Susan. It’ll be good for them.
My account that was hacked has been restored through the help of JEFFRY.WILLIAM.CYBER at IG
Sad. I have several of S&W’s fine revolvers. Anyhow, since its wretched beginning I have steadfastly refused to succumb to the execrable cult of Zuckerbergism.
Facebook is the devil. Everyone would benefit greatly by dumping Facebook.
“…adhere to Facebook’s ever-changing community guidelines”
.
Remind again about the “Zuckbucks” phenomenon, the “guidelines” on that bit of election tampering?
.
S&W would do well not to take themselves so seriously, instead generate something brilliantly satirical that ridicules, dare we say targets, Facebook makes them a laughingstock?
In related news, zuck markerburg was at mar a lago today zucking up to Trump to be part of the change that’s coming.
LOL
Facebook should be MySpaced. Until they stop censoring users, they have no redeeming qualities.
People still use facebook?
MRA needs to post this on FB. Who cares if the remove your account?! Spine please.
I don’t think Zuckerberg is real. Looks like a bizarre robot. Shoot him I’ll bet he doesn’t bleed.
Get out of Facebook and go to X. Or, just communicate through their website.
Isn’t it interesting that Zuckerberg is now kissing up to ‘President Elect Trump’ by visiting him at Maralago and bestowing all sorts of kind words on him! He is one of the phonies that are now having to face the reality that in spite of their open hatred they have to come to grips with the election results!
Facebook has one mission, to steal and sell the data of its suckers, err, “users”. Zuckerberg has been selling user data to anyone with money, and also, to the NSA and FBI.
Never join, never use. If you have an account, delete it.
If they are giving it away for free, you are the product.
Facebook needs to be reined in & lose their Section 230 protections. Their “Fact Checkers” continually get it wrong but never apologize or retract their misinformation. Hopefully, Trump’s new AG will pick this low hanging fruit.
Time to go to x Susan. Drop facebook.
We are on X. Find us @mustreadalaska. Follow and share! Thank you!
Just quit using the platform. Simple. If your not a self centered, ludacrist democratic pedophile, then facechat isn’t for you. If you have an opinion, and integrity, you wld t use Facebook anyways. All of you that do use the platform, enable zuckerman or zickemack whoever he is. Just like a drug addict, you all keep enabling him, to act like a spoiled child God. want to change it, than make change. Starts with you all who use it. If you use if, do t whine about His rules then!!!
Sorry Suzanne, but i could care less who got kicked off Facebook or why. As far as i am concerned nobody in their right mind would be on Facebook in the first place…..
1 particular acquaintance of mine touts his conservatism at times.
He travels for work quite frequently.
I had to call him out in our usual sarcastic manner.
His comment about chilling in a starbucks while waiting for next flight.
So , I asked him “ you’re sitting in starbucks? with your AT&T phone up to your face strolling away on facebook correct?”
Need I say more.
