Video at link.

A Facebook spokesperson said Tuesday that the company has lifted its block on California Republican Elizabeth Heng’s campaign ad showing photos of the Cambodian genocide.

“Upon further review, it is clear the video contains historical imagery relevant to the candidate’s story,” said Facebook in an email to the Washington Times. “We have since approved the ad and it is now running on Facebook.”

Ms. Heng received a message from Facebook last week saying that the ad violated the company’s policy against “shocking, disrespectful or sensational content, including ads that depict violence or threats of violence.”

Facebook folded because of heavy backlash.

But they sure hate conservative minorities.

Might I suggest to you the One Plus 5T. Half the price of iPhone X and kicks Apple's butt in many areas. There are a number of available videos you can check out if you're interested. *also just launched - the One Plus 6

AND the plucky little start-up with their great products and renowned customer service have grown enough since the days of One Plus One that you no longer need an invitation to purchase.

This is the best thing to happen to her. Do you know how much free publicity she has gotten out of this? Her story has gotten out more now than previously. This should boost her campaign.
 
Just like something out of the Trump playbook - big opportunity to take lemons and make lotsa lemonade.

That is a very, very powerful commercial. Zuck prolly carped his pants in envy.

Showing what Costa has “accomplished” in 14 years is shocking. Brilliant strategy!

““Upon further review, it is clear the video contains historical imagery relevant to the candidate’s story,” “

Ok, so unless it’s relevant to your family, you aren’t allowed to criticize Pol Pot?
Got it. I think I’ll keep my rifles and Mr. 870 just a little longer.

Can someone please tell me how to delete a FB account? I joined to see what the fuss was about and found it nonsensical.
I’m happy I did so... Now I can boycott them.

Definite interference with the election. Jail time.

Looks like Facebook folded because of heavy backlash

That can only happen when it's someone pretty high profile. Not for ordinary people.
