Please share this story to help our friends at Being Libertarian get their page back. They’ve worked arduously to build a loyal following of more than 90,000 fans who enjoy their daily content, and would appreciate if you could give them a helping hand.

​Liberty Hangout reports that Facebook has shut down "Being Libertarian" a FB page with over 90,000 followers due to the following post:

Liberty Hangout reports:
​"Being Libertarian has reached out to Facebook in hopes of receiving a media inquiry about the deletion of their page. After Facebook was recently caught tailoring their news towards liberal sources, it was believed that their relationship with non-liberals would improve. But this week’s turn of events indicate that things aren’t getting any better. We know that conservatives are being censored by Facebook, but the censorship of libertarians is even worse."

​One thing that separates us from the Neanderthals is that we follow principles.  The principle of Free Markey Economics tells us that while banning BEING LIBERTARIAN is quite outrageous, FB is the private property of Mark Zuckerberg and he can do with it what he wishes.  A key theme of free market capitalism is that we have the ability to not use a product or support a company that acts in a way we don't agree with.  Unfortunately, with FB, we're not rushing to reactivate our Myspace pages any time soon.

​I'd recommend sharing this article, sharing other articles that are reporting the same, and getting the word out as much as possible.   It's important as we lead up to prime election season that , at the minimum, the politically illiterate are at least tapped into the fact that FB might not always be the most 'fair and balanced' place to start their research.  Also, neither is Fox News...
