Is anyone having an issue with Bernie's Facebook page?

https://www.facebook.com/berniesanders

I don't belong to FB but have always been able to go in and read without joining.

So starting sometime this week (I was out of town), the page will load and them goes gray, with a pop up that wants me to login. That is now happening on my iPad Mini...just tried it on the desktop (Windows) and got the same thing.

Anyone else?

What would be the point of locking the rest of us out?

Maybe I should call the campaign?

This may be a new FB policy thing. It's happening to me with many FB pages when I'm not think Aug 2015 #3
Maybe it only applies to Bernie. Enthusiast Aug 2015 #5

because I wanted to be able to access some FB pages.
It was annoying but just marked everything private and
never posted anything.

I just tried and got the same thing on both my iPad and my Windows desktop...hmmm, my provider, ATT, fucking with me on Bernie (my new conspiracy theory)?

I did call the campaign...the rep said she would let their tech know, in the event it happens to anyone else.

It's ALWAYS something.

Not sure if it was something FB was testing out or not but glad to see it back to how it was previously.

and did NOT get the login box...it remains OK tonight as well.

Who knows what that was about...maybe the call to the campaign helped.

Go Bernie!
