More questions for Congress to pose the tech elites.
Why won’t you bake the damn cake?
In theaters FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 2018!
AMC theaters here in San Diego.
I’m going!
Seriously? more media bias.
Zucked again......
So he didn't get the free advertising he felt entitled to?
Gosh, that has to be absolutely crushing.
Nobody thought to check this stuff first?
Like as part of the business plan?
What free?
Ads cost.
Theaters list
Nowhere in the “article” does it mention paid ads.
I’ve already received my thank you for signing the petition and for posting on Facebook and Twitter!
From the article: “The film does have a Facebook page, but paid advertising helps more people see the posts. McAleer said from what he has read on technical blogs about Facebook analytics, as few as 2 percent of the people who like a page see its posts – unless the page pays to “boost” the post.”
So basically they are allowed a facebook page and attempted to pay for ads to get additional exposure, but their ads were rejected.
And you don’t think anyone might have checked that out ahead of time
as perhaps part of a business plan? It came as a surprise?
Does this mean they made an assumption that Facebook would
accommodate their advertising? Without checking in advance?
Ok.
Thank you for providing this list.
Noticed that film isn’t playing at many Northeastern theatres.
Appears to me they had to submit the ad to get the decision.
And this couldn’t have been figured out in advance?
My point here is that we’re supposed to be outraged about something
that could have easily been known in advance instead of after the fact.
I have trouble with fake outrage.
They could have figured this out before production.
Wouldn’t you have done so?
An ad by its very nature is paid. Anything else is a ‘post’.
Facebook puts ads in the margins, in newsfeeds, and evenin messenger.
Posting it to your own wall means the people who already know about your product have opted into ‘liking’ it.
OK.. assuming all of that is correct and that Facebook
is denying ad space on a paid basis... why didn’t anyone
check that out before depending on it?
What dimwit marketing person assumed they would advertise this
on Facebook without first securing confirmation that it could be done?
Sorry, if Facebook doesn’t accept the ads then that’s on the marketing folks.
It’s not an “outrage”.
The outrage is that Facebook is deciding business on a political basis and not a commercial one.
If I take an ad out in the newspaper am I going to ask them if it’s allowed first? No I’m going to read the rules that are posted and then submit the ad.
Facebooks rules are posted, this seemed within the rules. Except Facebook also has a review panel that decides after the submission if it meets their sensibilities...politically.... or not.
