January 31, 2016 by Kelly Davies Leave a Comment

Social media giant Facebook, has ban private individuals from advertising guns on Facebook and Instagram. The photo-sharing service company said but Licensed firearm retailers will still be able to advertise on the site.

The move comes three weeks after US President Barack Obama unveiled new restrictions on gun purchases. Facebook already prohibits people from offering marijuana, pharmaceuticals and illegal drugs for sale, and the company said on Friday that it was updating its policy to include guns.

Monika Bickert, Facebook’s head of product policy, said in a statement. “We are continuing to develop, test, and launch new products to make this experience even better for people and are updating our regulated goods policies to reflect this evolution.”
