Facebook Removes Trump Ads, Citing 'Hateful' Symbols

Steve Herman

   WHITE HOUSE - Facebook has removed dozens of official Donald Trump
   advertisements, saying they violated the social media platform's policy
   against organized hate.

   "We don't allow symbols that represent hateful organizations or hateful
   ideologies unless they're put up with context or condemnation,"
   Facebook's head of security policy, Nathaniel Gleicher, told the House
   Intelligence Committee on Thursday. "That's what we saw in this case
   with this ad, and anywhere that that symbol is used we would take the
   same actions."

   A [1]controversy erupted on Twitter earlier in the day about the "stop
   antifa" ads, created by the U.S. president's re-election campaign. A
   liberal Jewish advocacy group was among those noting that the
   advertisements' red inverted triangle was a marking once used by the
   Nazis to designate political prisoners in concentration camps.
