I don't like Facebook, either for its personal impacts on my mental well-being or its broader societal impacts. That being said, they have a pretty reasonable policy against mentioning Facebook in ads generally, because they had lots of ads that attempted to seem like official Facebook content ("Facebook releases new game!"), and they allowed the ads subsequently upon appeal

... Which these ads pretty clearly weren't attempting.

I can understand the first line review flagging them via rigid application of "the rules".

What I have trouble understanding is how they apparently don't have a mechanism for handling "high risk" placements, or if they do, it missed ads from a presidential candidate known to be critical of them, exactly the sort of placement such a mechanism, you know, is for.

The thing is, Warren's antifacebook ads are now back to being played.

The right-wing folks on the otherhand stay banned.

If by "right-wing" you mean xenophobic/fear-inducing wrt nationality/ethnicity/culture then yeah. Or do you have examples of actual right-wing folks being banned?

People who want their country to stay their country (in terms of ethnicity and culture) are still worthy of discussion...it is a valid political position...you can't just say "they don't count, please provide somebody else we can discuss that fit my narrow definition of right-wing"

What you are talking about is tangential to do with the left- right spectrum, though (unless I am misinformed of course, who are you talking about got banned for what? I meant it as an honest question, not a rhetoric one)

I got banned from twitter after I started a new open source honeypot project. I'm more of a systems/network cyber security guy. I wanted to learn python and git better. So I wanted to get more into the development side. Which hey, I've since then started multiple projects in Python. Python is amazing.

I posted on twitter 'learn to code' and I got banned. Which was crazy, it was entirely a positive message; not aimed at anyone, the only people I follow are people who give talks at hackerconferences.

I then researched that there some super out of touch journalists who were attacking right-wingers and then end up unemployed. So there was some people tweeting learn to code at these unemployed journalists.

The project I just got working last night was a python project that pulls weather data from weather canada and archives.

Weather predictions are pretty inaccurate until its more like a day away.
