Title: Facebook to Ban Firearm Accessory Ads
Post by: Ben on June 19, 2018, 08:39:13 AM
Facebook is banning firearm accessory ads to those under 18. Holsters, etc. I'll be curious to see if it remains limited to under 18 or if it's a foot in the door to simply banning the ads to all. I would expect Google to follow suit. It's interesting to me that socially left leaning Amazon has not followed suit on these kinds of things. They still seem to be mostly putting business first.

No link - just now heard it on the newz.

I wonder how that's going to impact an acquaintance and former coworker of mine that sells holsters on FB?  Hopefully it won't go to a full bore ban as that is his only means of advertising and it's working very well for him.

How else will Jeff Bezos become the wealthiest man in the universe?

Suddenly everyone on FB changes their birth year to 1997 or before....

What a crazy thing for a business to do.
