Facebook removes Trump ad campaign for violating Facebook policy

Microblogging site Facebook announced on Thursday that it had taken action against ads run by US President Trump's re-election campaign for violating  its policies on hate.

The ads, which attacked what the Trump campaign described as "Dangerous MOBS of far-left groups," featured an upside-down triangle. 

The Anti-Defamation League said on  Thursday.

The triangle is practically identical to that used by the Nazi regime to classify political prisoners in concentration camps.

We removed these posts and ads for violating our policy against organized hate. Our policy prohibits using a banned hate group's symbol to identify political prisoners without the context that condemns or discusses the symbol, Facebook said in their statement.

Facebook Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg was last month condemned for not taking action on a Trump post that said "looting" leads to "shooting," amid racial unrest across the country.
