Hey tech reporters who follow me: A man in Portland is dead tonight because a bunch of extremists planned an armed event on Facebook. Who is gonna ask Facebook about this?
Here's the post where they told their members to bring their guns.
How does this not violate Facebook's rules?
How many deaths are acceptable to be planned on Facebook?
Was this event allowed because it's a pro-Trump group?
A lot of people are pointing out that the victim appears to be one of the militia members. That doesn’t change the point: an armed event was planned on Facebook and somebody died.
The group encouraged members to bring concealed carry guns. That’s illegal in Oregon without a license. (They open carried anyway - also illegal.) Facebook has rules against encouraging illegal behavior, but I guess Trump events are exempt.
