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.
Don’t know. I searched their rules for ads and don’t see any violations.
even searched for the word “abortion”. Only some contexts of graphic photos are somewhat restricted (in audience) and not prohibited in total.
