    Default Facebook Restricts Gun Promotion

    Video Link: Facebook announced new restrictions on promoting guns on the social network, amid pressure from groups favoring gun control.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    Facebook did not do anything new but said they would continue to enforce existing policies. This is getting way out of hand. They will shut down your site (after waring) if you are advertising illegal activity. If you are selling guns within the law you will still be fine.

    The parts in the announcement I do not like:
    Restricted viewing to 18+. No harm in browsing when under 18.
    Cannot advertise face to face transfers regardless of whether it is lawful or not.

    But it is their game, they set the rules. They are still nowhere near as bad as G+

    Tis in their TOS that you have to be 18+ but you do not agree to the TOS until you create an account. You can browse without creating an account.

    Same thing as posting a for sale ad in a storefront window with the contact information hidden. You have to enter the store and agree to their rules to get that contact info but if you just want to look...

    FB has much greater control and can enforce such a rule, you've already agreed to their TOS which include giving them your birthdate.
