Why are you accepting Facebook's PR narrative as true?

From the article (https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/06/facebook-and-signal-are-figh...):

> Signal countered on Twitter that it “absolutely did” try to run the ads. “The ads were rejected, and Facebook disabled our ad account. These are real screenshots, as Facebook should know.”

I'm not saying Signal's side is necessarily true, but you're making an affirmative claim that Signal is performing a "misleading publicity stunt", by taking faith on Facebook's narrative as true.

History has shown me to expect that Facebook PR is actually more likely to be untrue than true.

But that started at the top.
