Let me tell you, anyone who has an active Facebook profile can create a Facebook group. A person on Facebook who creates a group becomes an admin by default and has the power to add, delete, or remove anybody.

Group admin has all the rights to review and delete the posts, if they find it, it is against the group policy.
