And why give it to Bloomberg? Why not just make it a dead end/blank page?
I hope someone was not paid off..... Reading comprehension. That is all.

If there was a legal threat, and Reed was part of the group that set it up, it seems odd that he wasn't involved in the discussion to take it down. It sounds fishy to me. If he knows it wasn't Facebook, why doesn't he know who did it?
And you could also just dead end the page without any legal risk.
PS enjoying the comments on the new Facebook page....

ANOTHER update. http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2014/04/daniel-silverman/correction-everytown-for-gun-safety-facebook-page-taken-down-by-admin/Quote: TTAG previously reported that Facebook removed the Everytown for Gun Safety main page. I spoke with the page’s administrator, a 27-year-old NRA instructor and he called the NRA in regards to his page. The NRA legal team sought him out and advised him to take the page down. Now One Million Moms Against Gun Control and Gun Rights Across America are attempting to gain control of the page and keep it going. This was not a case of Facebook censorship, but the admins decision due to fear of a lawsuit from someone that has lots of money and a crack legal team at his disposal . . .

I hope someone was not paid off..... Evidently you don't read too well. Reed is a commercial pilot. All of this went down while he was up there at 30,000 without the ability to do his internet. I expect to hear from him Monday morning sometime about what went down, as soon as he knows. He is not the only key player in this. While he certainly is a key player, if you have followed the narrative, another principal — Heather Coleman — may have made the decision. he was having trouble reaching her at 11:30 p.m. on Saturday night....no big surprise there...and since he was flying again Sunday, I couldn't hook up with him.

OK, I was flying one day last week on commercial flights and had no problems reaching a bunch of people. To be fair I wasn't flying the plane.
I didn't see Heather's name in the article... maybe your article could expand more on her role.
And speaking of not reading (or writing) too well, I assume you meant Heather is another principal.

This is a clearer explanation, thank you. But I guess this guy is another "key player" in addition to Heather and Reed...?

Codrea and I are digging into the veracity of this new Bloomberg page, which has been called into question. Thanks. (I had a feeling something was maybe fishy.) I've said this before, but I think Bloomberg is all about "people control" not "gun control". Just look at his history.

Cybersquatting, eh.. Too bad the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act only applies to domain names. Bloomberg's group likely has no legal recourse other than direct mediation with Facebook. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticybers ... ection_Act
