Default Facebook rejects Nazi symbols in Trump adverts

Seems Zuckerburg has some limits

Facebook took down Trump campaign ads against Antifa that prominently featured a symbol used by Nazis to designate political prisoners.

The move is surprising because Facebook has so far refused to censor posts from politicians under the orders of Mark Zuckerburg. But it does seem that the new adverts were pushing it.

The ads featured an inverted red triangle, which was used by Nazis to identify political opponents including communists, social democrats and liberals at concentration camps.
Facebook said in a statement. "Our policy prohibits using a banned hate group's symbol to identify political prisoners without the context that condemns or discusses the symbol.

The symbol was included in 88 ads run by pages for President Trump, Vice President Pence and "Team Trump" alongside text warning readers of "Dangerous MOBS of far-left groups" and asking them to sign a petition against antifa, a loose group of radical activists that use direct action to fight against fascism. Just the ads on Trump's page were many 950,000 times before being taken down.
