Facebook has "permanently disabled" the ads account of a conservative children's book publisher, claiming that Heroes of Liberty – which has published books about Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, former President Ronald Reagan and author Thomas Sowell – violated the company's rules against "Low Quality or Disruptive Content." Facebook originally locked the ads account on Dec. 23, and after Heroes of Liberty appealed the ruling, the company permanently disabled the account.
"The question is: is a children's biography of Ronald Reagan no longer permissible on Facebook? We don’t know. But apparently promoting one may well kill a business," Heroes of Liberty editor and board member Bethany Mandel told FOX Business on Sunday.
"We began investing in Facebook four months before we launched our first book," she added. "We invested most of our marketing budget on the platform, and now our budget (the money we’ve already spent), as well as our assets and data are gone. Marketing-wise we are back in square one, financially it's even more challenging."
Mandel confirmed that the ads account remained disabled. She hesitated to describe the move as an example of anti-conservative bias on the part of Facebook.
"We are not in politics, we are in the business of creating beautiful stories about great people that will entertain children and give them life lessons," she said. "To cancel children's books because they celebrate American values that 90% of Americans believe in isn’t even anti-conservative bias, it's anti-American. Pure madness."
"This ad account, its ads and some of its advertising assets are disabled because it didn't comply with our policy on Low Quality or Disruptive Content," Facebook said in a message disabling the account on Dec. 23.

After Heroes of Liberty appealed, Facebook sent another message. "After a final review of this ad account, we confirmed it didn't comply with our Advertising Policies or other standards," the message reads. "You can no longer advertise with this ad account and its ads and assets will remain disabled. This is our final decision."
I’ve blocked my own facebook account - by deleting it.
Farcebook is nothing but a bunch of foreign America-haters. Their “Fart Checkers” have already been exposed at a bunch of far left hate mongers.
Everyone thought this would stop at Alex Jones, no one fought for his rights. Then they thought, surely it ends with Trump and no one fought for his rights...
The serpent is devouring its own tail. The social media, MSM TV & Hollywood companies become more & more irrelevant. Their actions, lies and liberal fringe viewpoints speed their descent.

I keep hearing about all these ‘conservative social media alternatives’ and none of even made the tiniest blip ever.
Until recently, and in a clear RICO violation, all startups were gobbled up by Facebook and Twitter. In many cases they overpaid for the companies but it totally squelched competition. I blame this mess on congress.
I remember Rubio laughing about it after the Senate hearing on social media. If Jones and Trump were more like Reagan and would just talk policy they wouldn’t get banned. It’s that easy. Oh wait.
Please stop relying on faceberg to help sell your stuff. Please, please, please. Diversity is good sometimes - or, as the old saying puts it: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
I DO have a FB account but I’ll probably delete it soon - I only use it to post comments on some news sites. But the first time I tried to make an account on FB, I stopped when they started asking me where I went to school and so on. I was like, “Eff you, none of your business, FOOL.”
Getting your private info - including friends’ and family members’ names and pics, your pet animals, your job, and well basically everything - is the business of FB. Once they have that - and for you sillies that pay for your accounts because advertising, your MONEY - if they don’t particularly like you, down you go. Oh, they’ll give you a few 2-week suspensions first to see how hooked you are on their “product” and if you keep complaining and wanting to come back because OMG I NEED FACEBOOK!!! they’ll soak you for some more dollars. And try to do something about it. Your lawyer may get rich but you won’t.
Stop using the site. I don’t think it’s important for people to know everything about everybody or to share every freaking thought that passes through their tiny minds with the whole world of idiots.
I know it looks like your garden variety weenie-nerd with a silly haircut, but it’s actually the face of modern fascism.
Mike Lee suggested that we start our own Facebook.
I thought MeWe would be that, but it is not.
I’ll just say that if you’re going to sleep with the enemy, don’t act surprised when you get screwed.
A lot because that’s where the people and sales are. My friend owns a patriotic clothing company and his FB account was shut down last year. He was getting 70% of his sales from FB. Alternatives are Instagram ads, Twitter ads, Google ads. All have the same problem. Instagram also shut down his main account. It’s not easy.
Unless you are a Mark Levin and have a huge audience built up elsewhere it’s not that easy just to do your own thing. Don’t attack the business. Attack anti-American anti-capitolist Zuckerberg.
A alternative platform is needed. We just can’t ignore social media. It’s too ingrained in our day to day lives.
But, FB has no problem with videos of drag Queen story hour for young children.
The road is being paved and people are being conditioned for ‘Revelations’.
