Speaking as a proud non-user of Facebook, I don't have a problem with them trying to do the right thing in real time under difficult circumstances here. If Facebook feels that steering traffic to a(n alleged) shooter's profile is indecent, taking down that page and links to it seems reasonable. And if they find they have the wrong page, they can restore everything. And looking at the thread title, how have we reached a point where Bob Costas has somehow become the leading public proponent of gun control in this country? It's not his fault, but it doesn't speak well for the people who should be in the forefront. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
