  • Facebook has prohibited new political ads from appearing on its website in the week before the Nov. 3 presidential election in an effort to combat misinformation. But the social media platform hasn’t banned President Donald Trump from advertising, as a recent post claims. Fb is banning Trump from advertising for president so let’s do it for him!!!! the post says. TRUMP 2020!! This post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook .) Facebook has pulled some Trump campaign ads. In June, the company removed several for violating its rules against hate-group imagery, TechCrunch reported . The ads, which attacked the anti-fascist movement known as antifa, featured a symbol worn by political prisoners in Nazi concentration camps. In August, the Gazette newspaper in Iowa reported that Facebook had removed a different Trump campaign ad after the paper filed a copyright violation notice because it used a manipulated version of a photo taken by a Gazette photographer. Facebook also removed an August post from Trump’s Facebook page, saying it contained false information about COVID-19. But other Trump ads are alive and well on Facebook. According to the company’s ad library , as of Sept. 22, there were about 880 active Trump campaign ads on the site. There is no truth to this, a Facebook spokesperson told PolitiFact in a statement. The president’s re-election campaign is running ads on our platform right now. We rate this Facebook post False. (en)
