If they removed the ads, did they refund the Trump campaign the $$$ they spent to advertise in the first place?

Now that's just crazy talk.

"...the report gives no specific reason why the ads were taken down or what company policy they violated."

Because orange man bad, that's why!

Google - You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Apologies to Obi Wan - he was a bit misled about Mos Eisley.

And, of course, a refund was issued to the campaign, right?

Are there any FEC laws in regards to this?

Actually that is a serious question. If I were Trump, I’d have his campaign sue the hell out of Goolag and Fakebook at least for re-imbursement and also for damages.

It is our company policy that we will run no ads for political purposes that disagree with our Democratic overlords . . .

Maybe now he’ll take the censorship seriously and not just have “pat on the head” social media summits?

It sounds like uncharted territory. On one hand, they're like print media. On the other, they're require regulated telecommunication infrastructure.

After Nov. 2020, Google and Facebook will both face Anti-tust investigations.

As a result they will be broken up into national companies, who must be unlinked one from the other.

This makes them a publisher if they choose to censor content and as such should be legally liable for such behavior. However, Section 230 of the Communications and Decency Act maintains that internet companies can’t be treated as a publisher of the content it allows to be posted on the internet. So even though internet platforms can’t be held legally liable for content, only users of the platform, they still decide to edit and censor the speech of its users. Section 230 gives internet platforms protection from its own users as they can’t be sued for what they don’t publish as well.

It seems to me that there needs to be a provision that allows users the ability to sue these platforms when their free speech rights are infringed.

Removing 300 ads is just the beginning. Soon they will remove ALL references to President Trump.

Unless of course, it’s hateful lies and rhetoric. That will be allowed.

Click my screen name for how Hillary wins next November. With huge amounts of help from Google and Social Media.
