Facebook Pulls Trump Campaign Ads Over Alleged Policy Violations

Am I reading this correctly that the problem is assuming that the ad recipients identify as female? Because I know they allow targeting based on age (you can click on ads to see why you were targeted with that particular ad).
From a business perspective, this was a mind bogglingly stupid decision. Social media platforms have been facing calls for increased FCC regulation from people on both sides (including Trump) and it sounds like Facebook is trying to make it happen as fast as possible."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

I don't buy it. I bet they allow ads for makeup and hair color and other women's products.
This was just an excuse to deny Trump's campaigns ads. I bet when they get called on it, they will claim it was a mistake made by their AI.

The Rethinking Hell ministry I'm involved with had its advertising account shut down (it was used to promote the yearly theology conference). We appealed it and were vaguely told that our organization did not promote a positive user experience, and that no further appeal was possible. They might not have liked the fire and brimstone imagery, I'm guessing, and didn't even pick up on the fact that this traditional view is what we don't hold to and that it was used in a somewhat tongue in cheek manner."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostNo. The add violates the policy because it targets personal gender attributes. It's a very broadly worded policy, designed to keep abusive adds out no matter how clever the abuser. But as with all broadly worded laws and policies, it is bound to also include some things that are not necessarily bad in and of themselves in the broad net they cast.
