Facebook bans popular Second Amendment page without explanation

Published February 3, 2021 6:29pm ET



Facebook booted a popular Virginia Second Amendment advocacy group from their platform but would not elaborate on the justification for the ban.

“If they did this to us, it’s just a matter of time,” said Philip Van Cleave, president of the Virginia Citizens Defense League. “I think we’re a high-profile group and that’s why we got singled out. Those who aren’t as high profile as we are, I’m sure they’re on the chopping block next.”
