Facebook has taken down the International Shooting Sports Federation page.

No explanation.

No guns for you. Not even in Interantional competition.

Any non-leftist group using Facistbook as their website (to save hosting costs) is being foolishly cheap. Losing many conservative visitors, too (Fascistbook avoiders). Dumb.

A website can be had cheaply today. I have one just to do email that is not reliant on any ISP, with my full control.

best thing to do is what i did after the Floyd riots—just DELETE your facebook account.

just like your life continues even though you dont pay attention to daily ACLU updates or some other non-sense, so to, your life will go on without facebook.

dont give them the pageviews, dont give their advertisers the $$, and dont give them your posts. just like there are no conservatives on DU, let facebook be a liberal wonderland without you

if you need your business profile for whatever reason—fine.

A social media purge is coming. I hope Gab, Parler, Bitchute, and the others are ready.

Dump FB. Go elsewhere.

The FB, Twitter, Google logos should be shunned as though they were swastikas. And those who attach such logos to their websites or storefronts should be treated the same as those who would wear swastikas on their clothing.

Get a clue. They are your enemies. They mean you harm. Don’t acquiesce in your own destruction.

The left has become emboldened.

Makes me sick.

Just shooting or holding a firearm for a sporting purpose is now somehow “brandishing a weapon”? RIDICULOUS.

FB cannot take away our 2nd Amendment rights. They have gone too far.

Obviously, the First is next. Oh, wait, they and Twitter have already tried that.

If, for some very disappointing reason, Trump doesn’t prevail, I have an idea for a new business for him: create an actual free social media site that allows the free expression of thought and speech and even *gasp* the discussion of firearms.

In other words, a site that protects Americans’ rights under the Constitution.

“Any non-leftist group using Facistbook as their website (to save hosting costs) is being foolishly cheap.”

It is breathtaking when you realize that Fackbook it the beginning, middle and end of the Internet for millions. They know nothing else.

I hope everyone here has seen “The Social Dilemma”, has accounts on Gab, Parler, and Bitchute, and also throws these companies a few shekels every now and then. We are not going to have an Internet that serves us until we start paying for it. Just a buck a month to Gab or MeWe or whoever will keep them afloat with lots of cash so they can concentrate on serving users, not marketing them.

Most everything that's free on the Internet is taking something from you. With Fascistbook and Google, it is information about you, which they sell.

Fascistbook has harvested vast amounts of facial recognition data from willing users clicking yes on "Is this you?" and "Is this your friend Mary?".

How does one app know what you were shopping for on a different app? How do the ads on various apps match your sex and age?

There is no free lunch.

Are we FReepers ready?

Remember that websites have also been deplatformed. The Daily Stormer was the test dummy—easy to justify since they are Nazis. They’re stuck using some foreign registrar. After that they deplatformed lifesite news, a mainstream Christian website, for a little while, until they found a new registrar. I fully expect Gab, Parler, Bitchute and others to have to go through the same process, and probably a worse process, as they’ll likely also lose access to essential services—such as those services that block Ddos attacks, or even things like processing credit cards, which has happened to very many people already.

First they came for the Nazis, and we didn’t say anything because of muh libertarian free market. And now, here we are.

Already on Parler and uninstalled Twitter.

On Facebook now only when I have to (business purposes). No choice.

I keep an interest in Facebook really only because of interests in local history, vintage hockey, and classic Hollywood. I am not into sharing what I had for breakfast, whom I voted for, etc.

“Are we FReepers ready?”

That is a very good question. If I had JimRob’s ear (and I do not), I would recommend that he set up a .onion site on the dark web, a place holder that could be used in case freerepublic.com is driven from the open web. Download Tor now, subscribe to a good VPN service, and get a shortwave radio. 7490 and 9330 are good freqs to monitor. If you have a radio with SSB, listen to the ham bands. Also the freqs around 6950. The pirates will be active, too.

Gab already went through the registrar thing. Let me tell you, Andrew Torba is a warrior’s warrior. He can be irascible, but he will not stop. He has been demonitized, deplatformed, and deregistered, but he is still there running his own servers, and collecting checks by US mail, bigger and better than ever. Fu*k FR on Facebook. We need a Gab page.

“Fu*k FR on Facebook.”

Absolutely. Why enable an enemy in any way? And Facebookers cannot be solid FReepers, imho. Walk away.

Jimrob should also go with paid membership required to post, with a one-time sign-up fee then a low monthly fee. View only still free. Filter out the lefty agitprop posers here.

And he needs to make damn sure his FR web-hosting is very secure from outside disruption and shut-down, and always well backed-up.
