Facebook bans ads from The Epoch Times after huge pro-Trump buy

Facebook has banned The Epoch Times, a conservative news outlet that spent more money on pro-Trump Facebook advertisements than any group other than the Trump campaign, from any future advertising on the platform.

The decision follows an NBC News report that The Epoch Times had shifted its spending on Facebook in the last month, seemingly in an effort to obfuscate its connection to some $2 million worth of ads that promoted the president and conspiracy theories about his political enemies.

“Over the past year we removed accounts associated with the Epoch Times for violating our ad policies, including trying to get around our review systems,” a Facebook spokesperson said. “We acted on additional accounts today and they are no longer able to advertise with us.”

I dumped Farcebook a long time ago.

Self-inflicted punishment is insane.

Abandon Fecebook

Every time you log in, you are providing money to be used against US.

The Epoch Times is a great newspaper with a very interesting history. They also have a great website that I like to visit frequently.

Guess the mask is off, right?

Claiming impartiality and “rules” is just obfuscation and lies. They discriminate against people they disagree with.

Try doing that if you run a bakery.

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Amazon, Google, and YouTude need to be broken up into many, many competing, free market entities.

And, it needs to be done immediately, before they wallow in their socialist self-sanctimony even one more day !

9 years ago.

It'a amazing how many people at that time were still saying Facebook is good.

I only got it for entertainment when I was in the hospital for almost two months. Ditched it because there were way too many idiots.

People must be either very lonely or trying to brag about their grand life, to blog on Facebook.

Get out there and create an alternative to Facebook, instead of bitching about it conservatives.

Facebook is trying to kill an emerging Media entity because they don't agree with The Epoch Times.

"Muh Private Corporation!" So, since they are a private corporation, we can only infer that the DO approve of the pages they are currently hosting....
