I know I've made this point before, but this is the direction Facebook is heading, and has been heading for a long time. While this doesn't effect airsoft at this point, or at least there hasn't been a statement to read with an actual listing of what they are banning for sure. But none the less this is pretty much the stance that Proboards held when MIA initially started up years ago. Later they moved into bans on knives, replica firearms etc which drove the move from the old site to one that couldn't be censored based on the hosting companies beliefs.
None the less found this interesting and while it's not airsoft related(likely) at this point we all should be aware how much faith, energy etc that we are putting into using Facebook itself as a platform.
