Facebook has banned any ads from the Women For Trump movement because they target support from “Women” for Trump.
Facebook has removed President Trump’s pro-women re-election advertisements, according to reports from tech site Gizmodo, as well as the left-wing Popular Information blog that reported a “violation” of Facebook’s terms and conditions.
Facebook policy states advertisers may not have “direct or indirect assertions or implications” about race, ethnicity, gender and sexual identity, religion, or financial standing. So the Women For Trump advert was banned… for referring to women. (read more)

And Fakebook continues to ban conservatives without a legitimate reason, as the Paul Joseph Watson saga shows.

I wonder if ‘Humans For Trump’ would pass muster? After all, “Tiamat Legion Medusa [born Richard Hernandez], who identifies as a transspecies reptilian, has undergone castration, ear removal, tongue splitting, and 18 horn implants over the past two decades after an AIDS diagnosis left them fearing for their life.”
I guess FB would have to determine if transspecies reptilians can vote.

“Targeting gender, sexuality blah, blah, blah” implies ads that are negative toward a certain group.
For example, an ad asking “do you hate women, gays, etc then vote for…”

We have a real bad problem with FB and it’s only going to get worse.
Right now they are censoring hyper local ads. They will not let you boost or run a cheap ad in your community unless you register with them and get “authorized.”
That means that you can’t advertise for local issues, town elections, bond issues, social issues, national issues, etc. unless you give them your driver’s license and other personal ID that you really wouldn’t want compromised.
I have been trying for over 2 years to get around the robots by not using certain words, but it’s really impossible. Also, we have local meetings to support our President Trump and of course we can’t advertise or promote them on FB either unless someone in the group has been “authorized.”

The goofball reasoning is a distraction.
Facebook has just banned “Women For Trump.” Period.
This is an outrageous, hopefully illegal, act of censorship, voter suppression, discrimination, and social control, targeting individual Americans based on their views. It is no different from Twitter suspending conservatives; the demonetization of conservative websites; the “quarantines” on Reddit; and Google’s manipulated search results.
These companies have long since become de facto monopolies. The power over they have over free speech and the flow of information has no precedent. They must be stopped.
Try to imagine, back in the day when Ma Bell controlled all phone calls, that Ma Bell had the ability to monitor your calls and decide who you should and should not be allowed to speak to. Now imagine Ma Bell could also connect you on the phone with people they wanted speaking to you. That doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of what these companies are doing.

The ad was removed because of the “like you” ending. Facebook is 100% okay with ads targeted to women and any other attribute groups for which they keep data. It is their entire business model. The issue FB had with the ad was that the “like you” gave away too much and would allow the person seeing the targeted ad to realized that they were seeing an ad because they were targeted based on their FB data. Too close to peaking behind the curtains. The rule violated is set up to keep FB users unaware of how much data FB has on them and how that data is used to feed them targeted ads. FB can’t allow its ads to be too creepy. As an extreme example, imagine a FB ad by a pairing knife company: ‘Hey 35-45 year old Midwestern female with 2 kids and high income who has recently purchased fruit, have we got a product for you!’ FB active user numbers would plummet!

Really struggling to grasp the concept behind the ban. Correct me if I’m wrong…
1) This was not a Women for Trump ad. It was a Trump for Re-Election ad that targeted Women for Trump. Women for Trump is an actual group with a twitter account and website.
2) The offense was that the ad violated rule #12 of Fakebooks Advertising Policy.
12. Personal Attributes Policy
Ads must not contain content that asserts or implies personal attributes. This includes direct
or indirect assertions or implications about a person’s race, ethnic origin, religion, beliefs, age, sexual orientation or practices, gender identity, disability, medical condition (including physical or mental health), financial status, membership in a trade union, criminal record, or name.
Acceptable:
Ad creative that describes or shows the promoted product or service
Unacceptable
Text referencing or or alluding to personal attributes or characteristics of the targeted group or individual
Using the word “other” to reference a personal characteristic
Acceptable Gender Content examples:
“Come meet transsexual singles”
“A monthly meetup for trans persons and trans allies”
Unacceptable Gender Content examples:
“Questioning your gender identity?”
“Meet other trans women at our monthly meetup”
So, since the ad assumed the person who may be viewing the ad is a woman (whatever that is ;)) it had to be pulled.
The ad stated that Trump needs the support of “Strong Women Like You!”
If the ad limited the need to “Strong Women!” would the ad still be banned??

Yes, it’s about keeping up appearances. FB will let you micro-target ads to people based on specific attributes but the ads can’t give away the attributes used because it’s unappealing for users to realize how they are categorized by the FB database.
FB must reject tons of ads on these grounds daily. And we never hear about it because the ad buyer goes back and adjusts the ad content. The reason this is a story is because some left wing group took it upon themselves to report the ad after it cleared FB and was run. Leftists weaponizing FB rules toward their own ends, a continuation of the trend on other platforms.

With an ad policy defined by…
Facebook policy states advertisers may not have “direct or indirect assertions or implications” about race, ethnicity, gender and sexual identity, religion, or financial standing.
I can only guess Facebook is deciding to forego any future advertising revenue now that they have drawn such a clear standard.
Calling out all automotive company advertising that targets women by creating images that women are a big factor in making the decision to purchase a car. All these auto ads are a direct violation of the policy.
Then there is this type of violation…
Advertise a car for lease at ‘ONLY’ $499 per month plus $4,970 down at signing.
Would not that be a massive violation of the financial clause since the ads target higher income and makes those of less means feel to have an unworthy social value.
https://adage.com/article/guest-columnists/brands-learn-ads-aimed-a-female-audience/305732
Using the above facebook policy… All advertising should be a violation of the policy.
Since the whole advertisement industry is based on pyschological demographic research made over decades.
What Facebook is saying is in the future, a future where Facebook can truely live up to it social responsibilities, will require a business model built not on advertisement revenue but on direct govt cash transfer payments that cover operational costs for the Stasi like service Facebook can provide the Govt.
