Baby Pictures are "Too Strong for Facebook": Social Media Giant Targets Pro-Lifers in Outrageous New Ad RulesThe photos in question do not depict political figures, imagery, or events; nor do they contain violent abortion imagery. They are photos of ultrasounds, pregnant mothers' bellies, images of preborn babies, and even a simple photo of a mother holding an infant's feet. Meanwhile, in a flagrant double-standard, Planned Parenthood posts any photos they want.
Last month, the social media giant began requiring publishers to submit identification and mailing addresses in order to run advertisements (promotions to lists) of a "political" nature in the United States. Among the initial list of subjects deemed by Facebook to be "political" and, which will expand over time, are "abortion," "civil rights," "health," and "values." Facebook says the change is meant to prevent foreign actors from interfering in American elections. These verification requirements are however causing very lengthy delays for ad approvals and are far more extensive than what is summarized in the announcements. They have also caused many to complain about Facebook's labelling of reporting on non-political issues as "political" and therefore subject to Facebook's onerous new procedures and restrictions. Rather than simply verifying a representative's identity and a US-based headquarters or office, Facebook has requested a government-issued identification, personal address, and the last four Social Security Number digits for every member of an ad management team. The company claims that all of this information is being handled by a third party and will be deleted after six weeks, though it has not provided LifeSiteNews with a means of verifying these assurances. The new rules also place a special new "paid for" label at the top of "political" promotions, through which users can identify who is responsible for the ad, as well as the campaign budget behind it, the number of people who viewed it, and the age, location, and gender of its audience. Additionally, users will be able to report unlabeled ads they believe should be marked, after which the publisher (pending Facebook's review of the complaint) will be banned from posting ads until it completes the verification process. Most ads will be flagged through a combination of employee review and artificial intelligence. All "political" ads on Facebook or Instagram dated May 7, 2018 or later will be stored in a searchable archive for up to seven years... Click here to continue reading.
