I'm not on Facebook and never was so that's why I'm asking this question.

Could the administration that runs Facebook re-instate the deleted groups?

And yes, once Facebook reviews the situation, the groups will be reinstated.

Any Facebook user can delete any group -- not just remove it from the user's own feed, but remove it from everyone's? and this unilateral deletion by one person stands until Facebook gets around to reviewing it?

I know very little about Facebook but I just can't believe that the system would work so strangely. It wouldn't be in Facebook's business interest for its groups to be subject to the whims of a lone crackpot who thinks that origami or whatever is a tool of Satan.

Every fucking one of them! My feed for the first time in nearly a year has no Bernie posts. FUCK THIS!

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I just checked and ran a search for "Bernie Sanders." Normally, dozens of pages and groups would come up in that search, but now there are only a handful showing.

by writing it in the facebook search bar. The page didn't come up, just a post from the page. I can however get to it from the link posted in this thread.

Funny that anyone would consider voting for a person who aligns themselves with such a lowlife as Brock.
But after pulling this sort of stunt, for her to still think anyone with a shred of integrity would vote for her is ludicrous!!

She won't release her transcripts to Wall Street.
She won't promise not to cut Social Security.
She won't promise not to start a war with Iran.

Wow, she's everything I ever dreamed of in a President of the United States.
Not!!!!!!!
