Holy crap!!! I'll have to go check that out jillan Apr 2016 #8

Here's a link. The site the OP mentioned below is still up and working. pnwmom Apr 2016 #32

to quote Gomer Pyle dlwickham Apr 2016 #91

Scrolling down & reading a few posts on that page, it's apparent the site was NOT working earlier. Petrushka Apr 2016 #144

I checked within a couple minutes of when the OP went up. So if it was down, all the OP had to do pnwmom Apr 2016 #147

Copy & paste from that reddit page ---> Petrushka Apr 2016 #151

I'm assuming that facebook took down the groups... Fresh_Start Apr 2016 #9

Ever heard of hackers bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #11

of course... Fresh_Start Apr 2016 #13

There are SEVERAL groups for Bernie ALL TAKEN DOWN!!! Phone banking etc all gone! bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #19

But why would they delete the groups? NWCorona Apr 2016 #14

the normal reason of violating TOS Fresh_Start Apr 2016 #21

We phone bank, we encourage, we talk about issues and fairness ...........like here...... bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #22

Exactly! It makes no sense for Facebook to pull these groups on the eve of 5 primaries. NWCorona Apr 2016 #33

They haven't. The groups are up on Facebook. pnwmom Apr 2016 #28

I don't do Facebook but I'll have my partner check when she gets home. NWCorona Apr 2016 #34

You don't have to be on FB to see that the site is still up. You just won't be able to see pnwmom Apr 2016 #36

I clicked on it and went to a capcha page. NWCorona Apr 2016 #41

It's saying that I need to sign in. NWCorona Apr 2016 #43

It's happening to lots of the groups. bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #60

I think it is automated if a certain number of complaints are reached Marrah_G Apr 2016 #162

Alert-swarming by Brock's trolls caused an automatic shutdown. HooptieWagon Apr 2016 #20

It is fitting Aerows Apr 2016 #50

K & R ALittleBirdie Apr 2016 #10

It appears that alert-swarming from HillBrock trolls shut the sites down. HooptieWagon Apr 2016 #12

The site is up and running, despite what the OP says. pnwmom Apr 2016 #30

The site was shut down (I'm not a member, but I checked it out when the news hit) ScreamingMeemie Apr 2016 #93

It takes days to get a page shutdown on Facebook this is bullshit Beaverhausen Apr 2016 #169

bern enid602 Apr 2016 #74

Shocking. They are vile, vile creatures. There is no way I will vote for her now. Not on a bet. silvershadow Apr 2016 #15

You believe everything you hear without evidence? Dem2 Apr 2016 #39

I believe she is Third Way, not an FDR Democrat. I do not believe for one minute she really silvershadow Apr 2016 #42

I've had enough of you Dem2 Apr 2016 #44

When I click on the button (upper right on FB) to show what comments are being made NONE OF bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #16

Is this the site you claim is missing? Because I can see it on my FB, no problem. pnwmom Apr 2016 #23

It was taken down and then 840high Apr 2016 #128

I see it also Andy823 Apr 2016 #136

I can still get to the bernie sanders is my hero group Fresh_Start Apr 2016 #27

The one I'm talking about has a different pic it's not this one! bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #71

How do you know they didn't change their background picture? FB people do that frequently. n/t pnwmom Apr 2016 #133

ah, you still have no evidence. riversedge Apr 2016 #177

Did this personally happen to you or are you just passing along reddit gossip? n/t pnwmom Apr 2016 #17

Yes it did just before I posted this OP. bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #24

The Facebook site Bernie is my hero is still viewable -- by me at least. pnwmom Apr 2016 #26

I can get to it too nt Fresh_Start Apr 2016 #29

Now that it's missing no I'm not sure it could be Bernie Sanders Public Discussion Group..just bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #73

What about the Bernie Sanders is my hero group? If you can't see it maybe there's pnwmom Apr 2016 #80

Fucktards! Reading about this on the several Bernie groups I belong. nc4bo Apr 2016 #18

Small Bernie Group for my area is still up. Just notified them they were unaware. They are picking bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #25

All of my small groups are up in arms. MelungeonWoman Apr 2016 #87

They know. There is a post on Bernie's page telling of what happened. bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #31

This was just posted NWCorona Apr 2016 #37

It's not true. pnwmom Apr 2016 #52

I hope it isn't. NWCorona Apr 2016 #59

People can follow the link, just like I did. The OP claims to be a member. pnwmom Apr 2016 #63

That is not the group I was in. Mine had Bernie covered in background in Blue bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #82

You specifically mentioned "Bernie Sanders is my hero." Are you saying there were two groups pnwmom Apr 2016 #86

Lot of the typical paranoia on that reddit post. Seems they are blaming a Hillary superPAC without Dem2 Apr 2016 #35

From FB bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #38

I'd like to see evidence to back up that post Dem2 Apr 2016 #40

Evidence of what...they are gone..you can't find them anywhere on FB bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #49

Why do you keep saying that after I showed you this? pnwmom Apr 2016 #54

Are you reading the comments on reddit by the more logical posters? Dem2 Apr 2016 #57

Logical enough? Many believe from the reporting of her pac hiring those who would try to mess bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #77

Nah, more likely RWers/4chan/trumpites or even Anonymous trying to motivate peeps Dem2 Apr 2016 #81

Why were you looking for it Aerows Apr 2016 #61

Unbelievable bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #47

I see all those groups on Facebook radical noodle Apr 2016 #98

Was this done to cut communications on a PRIMARY EVE? FlatBaroque Apr 2016 #51

It looks that way bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #53

It's not true. pnwmom Apr 2016 #58

Some redditors seem to think it's HRC peeps, but more logical posters think some group having lolz Dem2 Apr 2016 #69

Just found out via FB as well, same info....but since we didn't see anyone actually push the button insta8er Apr 2016 #55

You heard in the news that she was hiring 1 million dollars worth of pac people to get Bernie bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #64

I'm trying to play the Hillary supporter, whatever you hear...either disregard it or insta8er Apr 2016 #66

I thought about that too bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #85

The FB site mentioned by the OP was working when the OP posted and is still working. pnwmom Apr 2016 #70

I myself got several notifications that groups were being closed via FB..from open to close. insta8er Apr 2016 #79

I don't belong to either group the OP sited, but I can view the larger one and it's still open. pnwmom Apr 2016 #83

All at the same time? I cannot contact them I can't find the one I was on and it's missing from bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #92

Check now. ucrdem Apr 2016 #99

I have no more Bernie posts in my news feed. All of my Bernie groups are gone. Vanished Ed Suspicious Apr 2016 #56

This Primary Aerows Apr 2016 #72

Admins for those sites reporting they were removed riderinthestorm Apr 2016 #62

They have been functioning ever since the OP went up. pnwmom Apr 2016 #67

Admins at Bernie Believers say different. nt riderinthestorm Apr 2016 #75

Good grief radical noodle Apr 2016 #100

Obviously you didn't read the posts on the site. They were down riderinthestorm Apr 2016 #102

No, I didn't bother to read anything there radical noodle Apr 2016 #112

Now don't you look silly. Next time maybe take a moment to check? nt riderinthestorm Apr 2016 #118

No sillier than people posting groups were down radical noodle Apr 2016 #122

Uhm, they were down. That's not silly. Its frightening for our democracy riderinthestorm Apr 2016 #137

Sounds like an internet glitch. ucrdem Apr 2016 #78

That has only 1900 members. I don't think it is the same one... JonLeibowitz Apr 2016 #84

How about this group? JonLeibowitz Apr 2016 #90

Check your own link, it's there. nt Andy823 Apr 2016 #142

Thanks for the snark. It has been restored since my post. JonLeibowitz Apr 2016 #156

Facebook doesn't work that fast Beaverhausen Apr 2016 #170

I am the OP! The one I belonged to is missing. Bernie with blue behind him. bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #94

So they changed their background color. It happens. This group has the NAME you cited. n/t pnwmom Apr 2016 #106

Didn't you catch some heat in the DU Bernie group recently? Renew Deal Apr 2016 #89

I don't even know what that was about? I wasn't aware of what was going on. Are you trying bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #96

I agree that it was unfair. Renew Deal Apr 2016 #97

Divide and conquer is the goal. RepubliCON-Watch Apr 2016 #105

Here's A Theory - Bernie Has More To Gain From This Than Clinton. Set Up! writes3000 Apr 2016 #95

This theory is somewhat believable because they went down after phone banking was finished. Dem2 Apr 2016 #103

There is no real reason for Team Clinton to do this. They're leading in tomorrow's polls. writes3000 Apr 2016 #111

I believe Sanders supporters can phonebank until 9 pm Pacific Time JimDandy Apr 2016 #123

oh GMTA grasswire Apr 2016 #101

Oh for fuck's sake. NuclearDem Apr 2016 #104

Yeah, it seems like it was coordinated Dem2 Apr 2016 #107

Paranoia, big destroyia Dem2 Apr 2016 #115

No I am telling facts....1 million dollars buys a lot of IT bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #117

And where, pray tell, do you think the tens of millions of dollars Sanders raises go? NuclearDem Apr 2016 #119

Always change the subject bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #140

That would be suicide/ nobody is that stupid. Dem2 Apr 2016 #121

Dem2 I am not paranoid! You are a name caller. bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #139

I was giving you advice Dem2 Apr 2016 #141

I'm so glad I bought stock in Reynolds Wrap wysi Apr 2016 #120

That makes no sense. If the groups were ko'd from FB, FB did it. Or the people who created the group Lucinda Apr 2016 #124

Can we all agree that Hillary is saying she does not want - or NEED - our votes, now? djean111 Apr 2016 #182

maybe its more like she needs hard right support reddread Apr 2016 #187

I think you are absolutely correct. n/t djean111 Apr 2016 #188
