Really? For conservative children’s books? What’s next?
Facebook ‘permanently’ locks account of conservative children’s book publisher
The reason? Per Facebook: “This ad account, its ads and some of its advertising assets are disabled because it didn’t comply with our policy on Low Quality or Disruptive Content.”
Disruptive content? So if I say something that causes some else to be disruptive, you ban me instead of the disruptors? And what defines “low-quality” content? Isn’t this just a subjective term allowing you to simply ban anyone on a whim?
The real problem with censorship such as this is that we can never really know the root cause or purpose. Is this the case of a private individual expressing their opinion by selectively supporting specific voices, or the case of a private company feeling the regulatory pressure of an administration seeking to limit the voice of its opposition?
