WOW: @facebook has just decided that this ad that we bought to run on their platform aimed at Facebook employees somehow does not meet their ad standards.

Wonder why?

using their ad platform. And I doubt many other platforms would allow that either.

I agree with relentlessly criticizing Mark Zuckerberg for his decision to allow campaign lies (for FAT CASH!), of course.

Start running political ads for Republicans where you state that if elected they will protect Mark Zuckerberg's right to all sorts of socially unacceptable, heinous and physically impossible things. Or you could also state something like "Vote for Mitch McConnell who just received the endorsement of noted goat fucker, Mark Zuckerberg".

It doesn't have to be true to run on Facebook. It only needs to pretend to be political. And it also needs to feature a humiliating lie specifically targeting Mark Zuckerberg and other Facebook executives.
