If true it looks like Facebook banned him and he lost his job for posting he voted while wearing a MAGA hat and holing a Chick-Fil-A sandwich....

He is better off out of that gulag. Glad to see he says this won’t stop him from speaking his mind.

I can't believe that The Little Ol' Band from Texas would do this, if true it really disappoints me that someone like Gibbons would do that - it appears that it could be as simple as 'if you get kicked off of Facebook you get kicked from the tour', and as an employer that is within anyone's rights - but this virtue signalling crap is actually hurting actual people, and it seems unequally enforced especially if one uses FB as the determinator given its' defacto and admitted biases against those on the right.

Shame on Gibbons for allowing a culture like this to exist within his business - great guitarist and singer, maybe not best person to work for.

Just libs being accepting and understanding of everyone's point of view. FB is just BEGGING for federal oversight. I can't see the Senate leaving social media so biased alone for much longer. And I am saying that as no desire for more regulation, but it is clearly not acting like a public utility anymore, so some kind of regulation is going to be draconian.

Social media and orgs such as Google has done more in election tampering than the Russians could ever envision.
