British shooting show banned from facebook

The facebook page of the popular British shooting show has been removed from facebook.

The BSS provides both jobs for event staff and advertising primarily for the retail gun trade and is often the place used for new product launches and a chance for gun trade retailers to meet the manufactures and place orders. It is also well attended by many airgunners. Over the past four years facebook has steadily been removing gun related groups and pages including a very popular group with over 15000 members. The “banning” activity has been stepped up over the past four months with the automated FB algorithms banning individual members who post any gun related content on their personal profiles including long bans and permanent account closures of olympic target shooters.
