PUN PROMPTS FACEBOOK TO SHUT DOWN INTERNET HUMORIST AND GUN REFORM ADVOCATE JAY BRANSCOMB FOR 30 DAYS

Cause Célèbre or Passing Outrage du Jour?
Jay Branscomb, meme-maker and Internet funny guy who once won the Webs with his Spielberg Triceratops gag, is on 30-day suspension for chiding a visitor to his page for misusing the word “bare”.
Troll was displeased. He rebuked Branscomb with harsh language and then reported him for violating an unspecified “community standard”. It is not known whether human eyes ever read the complaint but Jay is well known in the gun rights community for his memes and for frustrating ammotrolls who seek their special brand of “dialogue” on his page.
This was facebook’s judgement:
Now he is in Zuckerburgatorty for 30 days:

Please share. If you do not, the NRA wins.
Like all Internet martyrs, Jay is trying to raise money off of this. Unlike, however, Kim Davis or the Hate-the-Gays pizzeria, his needs are genuine and he wants to create new platforms for his message that are less dependent of the whims of mysterious and malleable algorithms. Here’s his GoFundMe page:
