CNN Business ^ | June 18, 2020 | Donnie O’Sullivan

New York (CNN Business) Facebook on Thursday said it had take action against ads run by President Trump's re-election campaign for breaching its policies on hate. The ads, which attacked what the Trump campaign described as "Dangerous MOBS of far-left groups," featured an upside-down triangle.

The Anti-Defamation League said Thursday the triangle "is practically identical to that used by the Nazi regime to classify political prisoners in concentration camps."

In direct violations equal time regarding advertising. The FEC and FCC should fine them into oblivion.

The networks will be next, refusing Trump ads not only for “hate speech” but also for their “lies, slanders and inaccuracies.”

Bank on it.

“...did God not devise this world the way it currently is...?”

No, we are born with a free will. God has given us instructions regarding His expectations of us which are clear in His Ten Commandments.

It is completely up to us whether we follow them or not. However there are consequences for not doing so.

..................

The accusation is a major stretch. Personally, I'm unimpressed with the ad, all three of them. All three of which appear to use traffic signs. But the morons at Facebook and the ADL, can't they google.

yield sign The inverted triangle represents our yield sign. Yield means you must give the right of way to other road users. ... Drivers may see the upside-down yield sign when vehicles break down on the side of a road.

Time to call political publishers political publishers.

This is the ad.

This is a yield sign

This is a traffic circle sign.

This is a minefield sign.

I could go on but won't.

Does anyone have a picture of the ad? What was the triangle, and how did they link it to Nazism?

More and more I believe there are still saboteurs in the Trump Administration. The upside down triangle? Why do that? Are they all complete idiots or worse?

See my post 47 which has the ad. There is no link to Nazism, rather to traffic signs. You'll note the three ads are all traffic signs.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a form of "sabotage". IMO they're lousy ads, and the traffic signs add nothing. As to the one with the triangle, I can't imagine why that would be in the add any more than the two yellow ads. If nothing else, Trump's ad people should know they'll be attacked for anything no matter how absurd, and be careful with their symbols.

Platform or Publisher?

Publisher or Political Organization would be more to the point.

The poster of signs. You'll find lots of sources on the web. I took that from either wiki or the USHMM site. Must have printed a lot so the guards could tell the prisoners apart. Maybe they were color blind.

Facebook wouldn't object to this.

Resistance patches so you can identify yourself or your writings.

I could be mistaken but I believe those charts may have been camp specific. They’re often identified by camp, and there were a lot of other categories which weren’t on there. POWs got an uninverted red triangle, so those traffic signs are bad. Roma males brown. And there were more sub-classifications than that chart shows. Which is what makes me think they’re camp specific.

They’ve overstepped, as have Twitter and Google. They may feel safe no legislation will be passed now, but it seems to me this issue could end up being resolved in the courts.

This is the typical bullshit of the left.

This is one of their symbols:

In criticizing that, Trump is a Nazi???? ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME

It is as if Trump criticized the Soviet Union's hammer-and-sickle and Trump was labeled as a communist for it.

F*** the press. Seriously.
