Facebook's ban on gun sales gives sellers 10 strikes before booting them


Facebook prohibits gun sales on its service. But buyers and sellers can violate the rule 10 times before they are kicked off the social network, according to internal guidance obtained by The Washington Post.

The policy, which has not previously been reported, is much more lenient than for users who post child pornography, which is illegal, or a terrorist image on Facebook, which prompts immediate removal from the platform.

Selling guns is legal. Child porn is not. Rather significant distinction.

I don't know that I'd call them lenient. They delete massive shooting groups with tens of thousands of members for people posting anything regarding pricing. Not sale ads, just questions or comments about pricing. Lenient is probably the last word I'd use.
