Facebook Shuts Down Page for GOP Senate Campaigns Just Before Georgia Runoffs
Epoch Times ^ | 1/02/2021 | Zachary Steiber

Facebook shut down a fundraising page for Sens. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) and David Perdue (R-Ga.) just days before voters head to the polls to decide between the Republicans and their Democratic challengers.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) runs the Georgia Battleground Fund, a joint fundraising committee for the NRSC and the campaigns for Loeffler and Perdue.

According to a screenshot from the committee, Facebook alerted them that the page for the fund was disabled “for policy violation.”

The page allegedly violated a policy against unacceptable business practices.

“We don’t allow ads that promote products, services, schemes, or offers using deceptive or misleading practices, including those meant to mislead or scam people out of money or personal information,” the alert said.

“Big Tech is at it again,” the NRSC said in a statement. “This is unacceptable with only four days to Election Day.”

A Facebook spokesperson told news outlets that what happened was a mistake.

“An automated error caused this ad account to be disabled,” the spokesperson said. “The account has since been restored.”

The Jan. 5 runoff elections could determine which party controls the Senate.

Republicans hold a 50-48 edge in the upper chamber in the next Congress. If Democrats win both runoffs and the White House, they’d control the Senate by virtue of the tiebreaking vote the vice president, acting as the president of the Senate, can cast.

Democrats maintained a majority in the House of Representatives, though their edge got slimmer.

Loeffler is being challenged by pastor Raphael Warnock while Perdue is facing filmmaker Jon Ossoff.

Did they shut down Rat Party fundraising efforts too?

Of course we know the answer to that.

Ah, Satan and his reptilian slime of a son Zuckerburg are at it again.

Color me surprised. Anyone with half a brain knows this is election interference, which is a criminal act.

Election interference. A non registered political pac operating under the rules of a non-political group.

The feds should just sweep in and shut facebook down. Remove their servers. charge them with serious crimes.

The vote to override the veto was 81-13. Only 7 Republican senators supported president Trump.

If the republicans passed the 230 repeal for big tech then they would be responsible for their own actions. The STupid Party is much happier being in the minority. They still get all the money and power without having to be responsible for anything.

FecesBook should be burned to the ground, and tossed into the dustbin of tech history.

Oh BS. No one buys that insulting excuse. Sue them for the database audit logs. I guarantee a human locked the account.

Sounds like they're going to be banning all advertising, or they're planning to go out of business.

Or, that's false advertising on the part of Facebook itself.

Funny, that’s what farcebook called my very last post back in October regarding spoiled ballots and how if you are handed one to refuse it-”election interference” was exactly what they called it! Then they gave me a 30 day suspension for it! Haven’t been back and haven’t missed it. Never going back again...

Can’t be letting (certain) U.S. Senators go around speaking their minds in public.
There’s speech codes that have to be observed.
