Facebook Bans "Women For Trump" Ads

[Breaking News Breaking News]

With 14 months or so to go until the election, it appears Facebook has drawn a very clear line on what ads are and are not allowed on its precious safe-space.

As President Trump attempts to build support among women, tech site Gizmodo proudly reports that Facebook has banned Trump’s pro-women re-election ads.

The reason is simple - they target "women".

The ad contravenes Facebook's advertising guidelines which list thirty varieties of prohibited content, including "Asserting or implying Personal Attributes" - which includes gender (which includes being a "woman")...

So, it would appear that daring to imply/infer the women in the image are women triggered Facebook's pre-crime algos and got the harmless advertisement banned from the social media site.

The ad was reported to Facebook's PC-police by the website 'Popular Information':

    "We've notified the campaign that the ads violate policy. They can’t continue to run unless fixed," a Facebook spokesperson told Popular Information.

However, as Natalie Winters notes, this is not an isolated incident.

    An ad inviting donations in honor of First Lady Melania Trump’s birthday used the phrase “Attention Ladies” and was promptly taken down for violating the same policy.

...And this is why we can't have nice things.

It's gotten really bad at Facebook ever since Hillary lost the election. They ban me on a regular basis. I'm in Facebook jail right now for posting a news story about the famine that happened in Russia in the 1920s. They ban me all the time for posting political news stories. I'm in jail more than out of jail. I never know what's acceptable with their daily changing community standards. Anything I post gets labeled as against community standards or as hate speech. You can post a video that says Trix cereal is for kids, and they would label that as hate speech towards adults who like Trix.

Facebook, Google, Youtube, and Twitter are so afraid the Trump will get reelected that they are banning anything that makes Liberals, Socialism, Communism, Zionism, or Muslims look bad.
