i received this email from Oregon Firearms Federation this morning:
04.16.18
Today Facebook blocked OFF from posting on its page. There was no explanation.
We know that Facebook manipulates its content and blocks any material that it does not agree with, but this is the first time OFF has been cut off from posting messages. This is all we received:
"You recently posted something that violates Facebook policies, so you're temporarily blocked from using this feature. For more information, visit the Help Center."
Needless to say, the "Help Center" provided no help.
While Facebook has been a useful tool for reaching people and giving them the opportunity to respond, it is becoming increasingly clear that it is a medium that is designed to control its users, mine their data and silence any information not in line with its narrative. This is amazingly dangerous.
If you are a Facebook user be aware that the information you are getting there is heavily controlled. (Like you didn't know that.)
On another note, Oregon Firearms has posted our candidate grades for the May primary elections. You can see them here.
So far they have not found a way to shut down our website.
Not sure about you all, but I deleted my Facebook account years ago, and have never been happier. They are not your friend and I refuse to support a platform that censors and manipulates it's users.
