Any tech people know how to help the brilliant Beatles Bible appeal against the FB ban? An incredible long term resource, removed for ridiculous (and incorrect) reasons. If there’s a way where the Beatles community can get together to appeal please help!
Facebook banned my page. Appeal was unsuccessful 😢

There have been at least 159 shootings at schools in the US in 2025—resulting in 53 deaths and 148 injuries nationally. America’s epidemic of school shootings is a policy choice made by lawmakers who would rather cower to the gun lobby than support gun safety measures that are proven to save lives.
