Facebook is asking banks to share customer’s financial information in a climate where corporate America is blacklisting gun manufacturers and businesses or groups that support the Second Amendment. On March 23, 2018, Breitbart News reported Citibank’s new corporate gun controls which bar gun store customers from selling “high-capacity” magazines and require those same stores to refuse long gun sales to 18 to 20-year-old Americans, even though it is legal to sell long guns to 18 to 20-year-olds.
On March 30, 2018, Breitbart News reported that Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR), which has $634 billion in assets, joined the gun control push by urging investors to cut ties with the NRA.
On June 26, 2018, Breitbart News reported that Stripe and Inuit were refusing to process payments from gun makers and NBC Los Angeles reported that Bank of America has chosen to refuse “financing to companies that make AR-style guns.”
Additionally, over a dozen corporations completely severed relations with the NRA following the February 14, 2018, Parkland high school shooting, and on April 21, 2018, Breitbart News reported that YETI coolers cut ties with the NRA Foundation.
In this climate of anti-Second Amendment hysteria, we now have Facebook seeking financial information on bank customers. Breitbart News reports that the information sought includes account balances and transactions.

One more reason to have nothing to do with Farcebook.
what? i hope this is not true.
...or Bank of America, or Citibank (banking or credit cards!). And if my bank follows suit (one of those listed as being pressured to give in), then I’m changing banks too!
I predict a rise in the fortunes of community banks.
I moved to a small community bank years ago. Banks and insurance companies are not going to control my life.
So will Congress step in an stop this coup against the Bill of Rights or will it be left up to “We, the people”?
Imagine being turned down for a car or home or business loan because Facebook does not like what you said at say Free Republic and told the bank to turn down the loan!
Why not just post the Banking Info on the Internet , Oh Wait ,LOL
Credit Unions too
This came out 1 or 2 years ago. This needs to be met with a lawsuit. Sue the bank, and FB.
FB already harasses normal people (sometimes called conservatives.) With this information they will ruin normal people. Then, if democrats come into power, all bets are off and all normal people will be slated for destruction.
The State doesn’t need an army of officers to impose tyranny if they can control your financial life via computer networks.
With a click of a button they can shut down millions of people’s access to their own money and credit.
I told my bank if they don’t like me carrying a weapon I’d take my money out of the bank. They backed down fast.
WRT social media shutting out conservatives....here’s something you can do right now.
ACTION NOW——SOCIAL MEDIA NEEDS TO GET THOUSANDS OF LETTERS FROM USERS
INFORM YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA PROVIDER, YOU ARE COMMISSIONING AN INDEPENDENT AUDIT OF YOUR ACCOUNT.... .for the following reasons:
According to the Association of CPA’s, an audit is a systematic and independent examination of books, accounts, statutory records, documents and vouchers of an organization (non-profit or publicly-held) to ascertain authenticity of financial statements as well as non-financial disclosures and to codify that the account presents a true and fair view of the issues at hand.
An audit also attempts to ensure that the account is properly maintained as required by federal and state law. The auditor perceives and recognises the issues, and conducts a examination, obtains evidence, evaluates the same, and formulates an opinion on the basis of informed judgement which is communicated through an audit report.
Issues such as selling ads based on account-holders, collection monies on behalf of an account-holder, disposition of monies, billing procedures, and the detailed reporting of these issues to principles and stake-holders.
This includes the federal government, state government, the SEC, liability companies, as well as the account holder.
Areas commonly audited include: compliance audits, internal controls, quality management, project management, and collection and disposition of monies. As a result of an audit, principles and stake-holders may effectively evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, for the edification of the account-holder and the relevant federal and state governance agencies with a financial stake in the subject matter.
Financial audits are commonly performed to ascertain the validity and reliability of information, as well as to provide an assessment of a system’s internal control. As a result of this, each party can have an accounting given on financial statements based on on the audit evidence obtained.
Due to constraints and limitations that might be placed on the auditor, an audit seeks to provide reasonable assurance that the statements are free from material error. In the case of financial audits, a set of financial statements are said to be true and fair when they are free of material misstatements – a concept influenced by both quantitative (numerical) and qualitative factors.
Copies of the audit are to be provided to principles and stake-holders including legal oversight agencies, liability companies and oversight agencies, and officials of the state and federal government deemed stakeholders in the resultant financial accounting.
Been seeing a lot of gas stations and bait shops with *we will not accept credit cards or checks from CitiBank or Bank of America, cash or Wells Fargo welcome* signs posted lately. Guess this is behind it.
