Facebook Censors RefuseFascism.org Ad for Nov 16 Protests Demanding Trump/Pence #OUTNOW!
Claims Ad: “uses profanity, implied profanity, or insulting language”
“Meanwhile, Facebook allows fascist Trump ads full of blatant lies,” says RefuseFascism.org
This week RefuseFascism.org attempted to purchase and run a video ad on Facebook promoting nationwide, non-violent, mass protests this Saturday November 16 demanding Trump/Pence #OUTNOW! (Go HERE for Locations Nationwide)
Facebook rejected this ad and RefuseFascism.org’s appeal, saying: “This ad isn’t running because it uses profanity, implied profanity, or insulting language.”
“The only obscenity here is Facebook’s censorship,” says Rafael Kadaris of RefuseFascism.org. “They allow fascist ads from the Trump campaign which blatantly lie, but suppress an ad calling for mass political protests demanding “Trump/Pence Out Now!”? Everyone should watch this video and share it everywhere. And most importantly, be in the streets this Saturday.”
Here is the Facebook ad being censored:
Here is the rejection notice from Facebook:
In the Name of Humanity, We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America
