Facebook Wants Your Bank Info, Corporations Push Financial Blacklist Gun Control
breitbart ^ | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 08/07/2018 4:07:13 PM PDT by davikkm

Facebook is asking banks to share customer’s financial information in a climate where corporate America is blacklisting gun manufacturers and businesses or groups that support the Second Amendment. On March 23, 2018, Breitbart News reported Citibank’s new corporate gun controls which bar gun store customers from selling “high-capacity” magazines and require those same stores to refuse long gun sales to 18 to 20-year-old Americans, even though it is legal to sell long guns to 18 to 20-year-olds.

On March 30, 2018, Breitbart News reported that Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR), which has $634 billion in assets, joined the gun control push by urging investors to cut ties with the NRA.

On June 26, 2018, Breitbart News reported that Stripe and Inuit were refusing to process payments from gun makers and NBC Los Angeles reported that Bank of America has chosen to refuse “financing to companies that make AR-style guns.”

Additionally, over a dozen corporations completely severed relations with the NRA following the February 14, 2018, Parkland high school shooting, and on April 21, 2018, Breitbart News reported that YETI coolers cut ties with the NRA Foundation.

Sounds like President Trump needs to take a page from Obama’s book. Use the FDIC to go after any bank that refuses lawful commerce.

Facebook builds a data profile on you even if you don’t have an account with them. But go ahead and persist in thinking all will be okay if you simply boycott them.

The time is coming that banks will refuse to do business with GUN OWNERS.

It never ceases to amaze me how good FB is at targeted ads. Some advertisers offer very good prices to use FB for transactions.....I don’t know if it’s just the advertiser, or if FB is trying to entice consumers into their web. Today, I ordered a really nice winter coat from Zulilly for $25, including tax and shipping.

I agree. Probably within the next 2-4 years too.

However, a bakery cannot refuse service for a gay wedding cake.

Hopefully our credit union will not do this. I have a feeling they won’t.

Maybe we can make a National Bank of Guns? Or how about the "Fundamentalist Church of the Founding Fathers"? Tax exempt and must be armed.

So not only could posting “hate speech” get you banned from Facebook but they’d try to terminate your financial relationships, as well.
