Facebook recently shut down the group “Banting7DayMealPlan” without explanation. Crossfit has retaliated by suspending their use of FB etc. They sound really pissed.
Anyone know any details about why or who triggered the Banting group’s shut down and subsequent reopening? It sounds like something an anti-LCHF person or group would try to pull by filing a complaint about the group maybe?
8. Facebook is acting in the service of food and beverage industry interests by deleting the accounts of communities that have identified the corrupted nutritional science responsible for unchecked global chronic disease. In this, it follows the practices of Wikipedia and other private platforms that host public content but retain the ability to remove or silence—without the opportunity for real debate or appeal—information and perspectives outside a narrow scope of belief or thought. In this case, the approved perspective has resulted in the deaths of millions through preventable diseases. Facebook is thus complicit in the global chronic disease crisis.
For these reasons, CrossFit, Inc. has placed Facebook and its associated properties under review and will no longer support or use Facebook’s services until further notice. https://www.crossfit.com/battles/crossfit-suspends-facebook-instagram
I have to wonder if any other FB groups will suffer the same fate.

Have never had an account. If I was in college or a teen, maybe I’d think about an account, but I really don’t want to know what people are eating each day.
