Facebook removes 216 Trump campaign ads about Biden, refugees and COVID-19

In his second term President Trump will need to take SIGNIFICANT action against the social media giants. They are mutilating the First Amendment on a daily basis.

Facebook removes 216 Trump campaign ads about Biden, refugees and COVID-19

By New York Post, October 2, 2020

Facebook removed 216 ads from President Trump’s 2020 campaign that made claims about Joe Biden, refugees and the coronavirus, claiming the ads violate the company’s policies, according to a report Thursday.

The ads from the Donald J. Trump Facebook page claimed, without evidence, that “despite the health risks [of] COVID-19,” Biden would drastically increase the number of refugees from Syria, Somalia and Yemen, CBS News reported.

“We rejected these ads because we don’t allow claims that people’s physical safety, health, or survival is threatened by people on the basis of their national origin or immigration status,” a Facebook spokesperson told the outlet.

Facebook’s online ad library shows Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. shelled out $10,000 to $15,000 for the 15-second videos, which started running on Wednesday.

They were taken down that same day for going against the social media giant’s advertising rule regarding “Personal Attributes,” the report said.

The policy states that ads “must not contain content that asserts or implies personal attributes,” including “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.”

The messages received 300,000 to 350,000 impressions before they were taken down, according to the ad library. Impressions are the number of times an ad appears on screen.

A spokeswoman for the Trump campaign stood by the content of the ad in a statement to CBS, adding that: “When it comes to leading our nation through this crisis and delivering the Great American Comeback, Americans can rely on President Trump.”

I think after over 70 years they’ve been programmed on a gut level to react this way. I’ve found that if you have a calm relaxed conversation with them over a period of time they do see the true situation. What has really changed over 7/10 of a century with all the talk and promises? Interesting, behind the scenes the Dems have worked to thwart progress for minorities or give the peanuts not embrace them as equals.

I have seen some prominent Dems. accuse (once again) Trump of colluding with Putin to win the election. What a crock! The opposite is true, Putin knows that Trump will be extremely tough on Russia. He also knows that Biden can cheaply be bought off. After all it has been done before, if not directly then through his family.

Don’t be mistaken Putin, like Iran and China want Biden to win this election, so I would expect their interference but not on Trump’s behalf.

I can’t believe anyone can call themselves patriotic and still use sites like facebook, etc. Especially when there are several platforms that don’t play the censorship game that need support. Now I sound like a hypocrite because I post on disqus which has censored me countless times. But with disqus there is no choice for certain sites like Geller Report.

I felt that way too, Julie, until I got locked out for 30 days – 2 years ago. No reason was even given! I went to Fakebook one morning and my account was locked. When I finally went back a month later, all my contacts and quilt groups were gone. Apparently those who control Fakebook, are TERRIFIED of old ladies who belong to several quilting groups!! I deleted my account and will never go back. My family can reach me by phone or email. I kinda missed my quilt groups, but not enough to go back to such an evil platform that should be eliminated by the U.S. Government for being a publisher that censors.

Facebook claims it isn’t culpable for the contents of 3 Billion? registered users. Facebook claims it is only a platform in a print world analogy Facebook is claiming it is the paper or ink manufacturer NOT the publisher. Publishers edit and censor the content of their authors and are therefore subject to libel by injured or aggrieved parties. Facebook is acting like a publisher and should be subject to lawsuits for the contents of its 3 billion? authors. Of course this would destroy Facebook. Facebook claims that S 230 of the CDA protects Facebook from legal action. Some federal deep state gangster courts have agreed with Facebook but there is NOTHING in the statute to justify this conclusion. In Trump’s 2nd term SCOTUS should rule against Facebook and either Facebook stops censoring or they are a publisher and will be sued out of existence. Lets hope Facebook goes extinct and conservatives go back to reading books and talking to people live without masks.

Facebook is a glorified bulletin board that makes money off selling YOUR data while either denying it or trying to minimize it. They also push universal income so their advertisers get some money for their products/services from their deadbeat addicted fans. They have also managed to buy off most of our representatives. What’s going on is pure fascism and it is to an extreme

As to your post they want it both ways – They have to figure out if they are a “publisher” or if they want to be a “utility” then they need to be regulated. As it stands now that loophole needs to be removed and other publishers like the NYT also needs to be responsible for their flat out lies and misleading stories they publish too. Till there is a change in Congress, DEMS won’t make any legislative changes because it benefits their agenda and helps that freaking imbecile Biden mislead people..

FB has attacked and restricted the free speech guarantees of millions of Americans and others. They are directly interfering in a federal election. These bans are an illegal election contribution. These are all criminal offenses. Not only must Zuxky and his complicit executives and Board must be arrested and prosecuted, but they must be found liable for the hundreds of billions of damages they have directly caused numerous people. We must strip these vermin of their wealth,award damages to those who have been affected, and contribute the rest of this weaith (100’s of billions) to theSocial Security fund. I suggest SS so as to gain poular support for the lawsuits forfeiture and seizure of their ill-gotten gains.

Zuckerberg thinks he’s G-d. Former Stasi Officer Angela Merkel asks him to control what is said over Facebook he says Chancellor. He sends his Deputy Kramer to Pakistan who was threatening to lock FB out because it allows blasphemy. Kramer cuts a deal with the blessings of the big kid to use filters to block the blasphemy and allegedly track the blasphemers. China tells FB years ago it won’t allow FB to continue in China because of the bad things people say about China. They tell Zuckerberg they will only allow FB in if China can trace users and intercept conversations. Zuckerberg holds to his ethics in his first encounter with the real world until the day drew near to the dead line. He then capitulated. This be his first domino to fall then Pakistan and the rest is history. Now he’s hard core seeking to control the entire World even if it violates the #1A of the Bill of Rights for his fellow Citizens in the USA and Human Rights supposedly in the UN Charter (what a laugh). Now that former PM May threw out the Magna Carta for protected speech, France became dictatorial, Ex Stasi Officer Chancellor Merkel who collaborated with the KGB in the day stifles free speech in Deutschland, Zuck fits right in with the Marxists, Anarchists, Jihadists, Anti-Semites, Leftists, Antifa, BLM, Louis Farrakhan, who want to do away with the US Constitution, Bill of Rights and create a collective modeled after the CCCP, China or for the Jihadists, Sharia. If you don’t believe this all you need to do is open your eyes, ears and listen. These people are hiding nothing.

Off topic – update on Proud Boys – sue the crap out of these fascist liars!

Proud Boys founder to sue Biden, CNN for ‘white supremacist’ label
‘Multi-racial patriotic group’ will ‘fight back’ in court

By WND Staff
Published October 2, 2020 at 3:44pm

In an interview Thursday with Britain’s Sky News, the national chairman of Proud Boys — who is African American and Cuban — noted his skin color.

“We’ve been called many names,” said Enrique Tarrio, “and probably the most inaccurate name you can call us is white supremacists, as your viewers can see.”

He said Biden “made a crucial mistake by naming our organization for [Trump] to disavow.”

See Tarrio’s remarks to Sky News:

Tarrio said in a written statement provided to USA Today that Proud Boys has “longstanding regulations prohibiting racist, white supremacist or violent activity.”

“We do not care what color you are or what your background is … if you love America … we consider you a brother,” Tarrio said.

In November 2018, after media reported the FBI had classified the Proud Boys as an extremist group with ties to white nationalism, bureau officials held a briefing denying the claim.

The FBI agents said it was not their intent to classify the entire group but to characterize a possible threat from certain individuals. However, the agents suggested using the website of the discredited Southern Poverty Law Center as a resource. The SPLC has broadly labeled people who hold traditional views on subjects such as marriage as “extremists” or members of “hate groups.”

(Our FBI is so corrupt!)

This is a plain violation of federal election law and a criminal violation of civil rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Barr should order the immediate arrest of all FB executives responsible for this serious election violation, including Zucky and his entire FB board, and place them into detention until the elction is over. Afterwards,a lawsuit m be brought sufficient to forfeit their entire FB holdings and place their equity into a federal fund to shore up Social Security Retirement Benefits. When Zucky gets out of prison he and his henchmen can live on their SS retirement benefits.

Pamela Geller it was very telling the report you submitted about the speech Mark Zuckerberg gave to his company. He plans to filter Broadcast News on Facebook to control Hate and Unrest?! He is now a News Organization. Hurray for him because now he’s eligible for Anti-Trust Actions against his Corporation. I hope they dice his Firm into a million parts with him losing control of the overall picture.
