Yes, we do know. What a member of a group does is irrelevant to the status of the group.

Facebook Removes 1.7 MILLION Member Group “Joe Biden Is Not My President” Without Warning — But Anti-Trump “Not My President” Page Still Up After 4 Years


..This is what continues to happen to conservatives after Republican lawmakers refused to take action to preserve freedom of speech in America...
<sigh>

This is not a "free speech" issue.

I would have to imagine the members of that group are super triggered, though...
faceboook and all the others are MEDIA and should be under the same rules and regulations as TV and radio which is overseen by the FCC.

"Facebook can do whatever it wants.", can ABC, NBC, CBS, etc.?

"What is good for the goose....."!

So it's your side in favor of more censorship?

How many times does this have to be explained to faux conservatives?

Our founding fathers cherished the right to property. "Pursuit of Happiness" phrase was simply an expansion of Locke's defense of property.

Don't like Facebook? Don't go there.
"You don't have the right to free speech on someone else's property."

Explain WHY TV and radio, etc., which are "private property" and are RULED under the FCC.

Disagree. Monopolies need to be treated as monopolies and regulated as such.

What Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Twitter, and other Tech/Media giants are doing is similar to if AT&T, years ago, had broken into your telephone conversation and told you that you couldn't say that, then just cut you off if you continued.

They are UTILITIES, just like electric, water, phone, etc. I hate more government regulation, but they are censoring to the point of being radically wrong and damaging to society.
