So, my brother who works nightshift texted me this morning at 12:15 AM to let me know that Facebook was deleting posts and accounts that were pro-2nd Ammendment. I was up coughing and sick, so at 2 AM when I couldn't sleep I did some research and found that his source was a little less than credible, and let him know as much. I don't use Facebook, but my wife does, so I got on her account and posted a polite little 2 or 3 sentence pro-2nd Ammendment post to use as a litmus test, and lo and behold, it was deleted at some point today. I just thought that I would let you Facebookers, and those of you who are related to Facebookers, know that one of the largest modes of social MEDIA is censoring its users. It would be one thing if it was a decency, safety, or privacy issue, and I know that Facebook is not guaranteed by the Constitution, but by pulling all posts that are pro-constitution is far from being "fair" to the spirit of Freedom of Speech or Freedom of the Press,as this is a mode of public MEDIA. I am not sure what my next step is in this debacle, but I am a little hot under the collar right now.

Well, I am not a Facebooker, either, and my inexperience shows. My wife was the mole. She deleted the post thinking that my "test" was over. The funny thing is, I just posted it to calm my brother down and prove him wrong, as I told him that his source was less than credible. But I guess I need to go put my tinfoil hat back on.
My post roughly stated:
I support the Second Amendment and oppose the Feinstein gun grab.
