Facebook recently updated their advertising policies so that firearm accessories can’t be shown to those under the age of 18.
“We already prohibit ads for weapon sales and modifications like magazines,”
reads the company’s business page. “However, advertisers have been able to promote other weapons accessories, including products that are mounted on guns for the purposes of illuminating, magnifying or focusing in on (e.g. optics, flashlights) a target as well as holsters and belt accessories.”
Facebook’s already strict policies against gun advertising became apparent in a
situation detailed by The Daily Caller News Foundation in which a small town business was stopped by the tech giant from advertising products like American flags or outdoor clothing on the platform because its Facebook page promotes the sales of guns, and includes links that lead to the same.
Examples of what’s acceptable
include: “Gun exposition today!” or “blogs or groups connecting people with weapon-related interests, as long as the service doesn’t lead to the sale of these products.”
However, posts with captions like “Cheap firearms: Buy now!” and “weapons of any kind, including pepper spray, knives, tasers, or weapons intended for self-defense,” aren’t allowed, according to Facebook’s rules.
The business in question — located in East Earl, Penn., part of Lancaster County — though didn’t include any such content in its American flag sale promotion. But it was removed, along with all of their advertising capabilities, because their Facebook page incorporated a link to their own website where gun content can be found.
