Midterm Meddling: Facebook Blocks Republican Candidate’s Ad

Facebook has banned Republican congressional candidate Elizabeth Heng’s campaign video ad about communist crimes that led her family to flee Cambodia for the U.S., claiming the platform doesn’t allow “shocking, disrespectful, or sensational” content.

Elizabeth Heng, who is running for California’s 16th congressional district seat, made the video about her parent’s escape from mass-murder by the Khmer Rouge communists in the 1970s.

However, according to the Christian Post, Facebook deemed the video to be “shocking, disrespectful or sensational,” and refused to allow her to run the video as an ad on the platform.

How is this not voter / election tampering? Where is the FBI? Where is the Democrats? Where is the Socialist?

You still cannot view the ad without logging in to fakebook.
When you log in they are collecting data on you.
Hitler did this in a bit of a more primitive method but the outcome will be the same.
Fakebook needs to be shut down!

5:07 becasue people like you don't seem to understand, and never will, that this is a private company allowed to ban, delete or remove anything they wish... This is not a govt Facebook page where by law they are not allowed to remove comments or post even if they are negative reviews, becasue that is a citizen/public/free speech thing...

5:45 or maybe just stop being so stupid to willy nilly give out pictures with meta data on them, and posting and showing and sharing your life on Facebook... That could help stop them, but no that would be to easy to do right??? You all are even to lazy for that.... Not knowing people can use the info and pics you post... Not knowing someone can rob you knowing you are out of the state somewhere becasue you just posted pics or "checked in" somewhere so no people know your not home or when you post a pic of your mail in the background or car plate that can be used to track you down!!!!!

That is why FB exists int he first place and why it is backed and started by DARPA, you know who that is right??? The federal govt!!!!! They knew and love the fact you would willingly and openly give every minute detail about your life on it and what do you know, they were right!!!!! Ah well you all will see soon enough that technology will be humanities downfall and ways to oppress people...
