This week Facebook took down Died Suddenly News group that had grown to over 200,000 members. It’s back up again with about 55,000 members.

I'm surprised: 1 that it took so long and 2 that it's back up!

Not shut down. The admin was ahead of them and hid it.

No, Fakebook did shut down the group once it hit 300k. The backup was called RIP News and when it went “live” the name was changed to Died Suddenly News like the old group. I believe it’s invitation only, you can’t search for it on Fakebook.

I stand corrected. What I posted was prior. One was stopped, but we rolled over to the other one.

I think FB has been sifting through accounts lately. My son had put up that Hunter Biden photo with a cigarette in his mouth a long time ago when it first came out. FB just took it down and suspended him for a week or so.

That's pretty bad as that photo has been shown everywhere -- in fact there are problem dozens of memes based on that photo. To me, FB's action at this point in time (when the horse has long left the barn) shows how out of touch and yet how controlling FB and its censorship has become.

What happened to the remaining members? (Not being on FB, I've no clue how the membership works with dropped/then reestablished FB groups.)
