Punk Rock Libertarians is a group a colleague of mine ran for many years. They live-streamed video/podcasts every week and had an active posting and discussion-based community. They were removed without notice and for seemingly ambiguous reasons. Their group was a community in the vein of what, in my opinion, is not much different than a particular dog breed community group I belong to on Facebook. Meanwhile, I have made numerous requests for Facebook to remove a clearly non-existent person claiming to work for my company who regularly attempts to connect with me and other employees. Facebook does not respond and no action has been taken.

Is that group different from the large-seeming Punk Rock Libertarians group that is currently on Facebook?

It is the same; they were “re-instated” after a lot of complaining and media interviews, but had to start again from zero followers. The 5k followers they have now is from the last few weeks and is orders of magnitude fewer than what they had prior to deletion. Their content was not restored either.

I can’t tell if your question is based in simple curiosity or implies some form of skepticism that mistakes were made or that problems actually exist.
