Facebook is at it again. Zuckerberg and company appear to be actively suppressing pro-gun posts on the world's largest social media platform. We've been reporting on Facebook censorship for months now. After writing about it, our publisher, Chris Buskirk, had his Facebook account banned until a series of media interview shames Facebook into reversing their ban...

And in other news, people still post to Facebook. I’ll give them five more years.

Facebook hardly worries me...they could go out of business today and I couldn’t care less.

I have always thought Facebook was for idiots.

Conservatives or independents with a brain don’t use Facebook.

Facebook is useless. Except for pictures of food and old, hackneyed aphorisms presented in weird new fonts.

It is hilarious how they got caught "trending" articles that have 300 views while disappearing articles that have 30,000 views.

So long as it's an obscure liberal site, it's all good.

A pro-second Amendment article?

Down the memory hole it goes.

This is a different sort of thing. An anonymous message board is not the place to keep in touch with family and friends from around the world.

A large number of people use Facebook for their everyday news and communications.

I have two friends, both of which are very smart, who have gravitated to Facebook for almost all of their news and much of their communication.

They are constantly sending me stuff from facebook that I rarely look at.

But, the point is that they get a great deal of their information from facebook.

We use emails, texts and phone calls to our friends and relatives.

My wife hates cell phones and tech stuff. She realized one day, she needed to text to keep up with friends and relatives. I bought her a smart phone and helped her create a contact list. She texts over 1,000 texts each month and probably receives more. I text a couple of times a day. I prefer to use email to keep up with friends, relatives and people I used to work with. My email contact list has over 100 contacts. My text contact list has 11.

That is what is great about America. You can use or not use Face book or you can text and email to keep up with people as well as phone them.

Have a good day!

Cell calls and texts can be expensive if its overseas. A lot of people don’t even check email anymore. Emails change. Addresses change. The FB page is always in the same place.
