Facebook bans Pro-Trump super PAC from advertising on its Platform

Committee to Defend the President chairman Ted Harvey told FOX Business Facebook is "determined to restrict free speech and attack those who dare to support President Trump."

Facebook announced Thursday that it will ban pro-Trump super PAC, The Committee to Defend The President, from buying ads on its platform.

“As a result of the Committee to Defend the President’s repeated sharing of content determined by third-party fact-checkers to be false, they will not be permitted to advertise for a period of time on our platform,” Facebook Policy communications director Andy Stone told FOX Business in a statement.

The page will lose advertising privileges for a minimum of 90 days. The advertising ban will take effect on August 10, and would end around November 1.

Committee chairman Ted Harvey told FOX Business in a statement that Facebook is "determined to restrict free speech and attack those who dare to support President Trump."

Company owns 98 percent of all business platforms, information sharing and peoples ideas. Controls most all content people read, hear and communicate. However they have immunity because it’s free but the owner is worth 90 billion and company is worth 500 billion. They decide what is harmful to their company’s feelings not society but they own or control all of it... who would have thought this could go wrong ? Ha good job republicans

And I don't see them running over to this poison little corner of the interwebs to drop any ad dollars.

@10:18 Facebook is by and large conservative. They take in a ton of ad revenue from Infowars and Stormfront.
