US media revealed that Facebook removed hundreds of ads from President Donald Trump’s campaign, including allegations about Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden.
Facebook revealed in a report Thursday that it had removed 216 ads from President Trump’s 2020 campaign, including allegations related to his rival, Abiden, refugees and the Corona virus, according to the New York Post.
Facebook said the ads violated site policies, which had gone into effect to remove them.
According to CBS News, the ads on Trump’s page claimed, without evidence, that Biden would significantly increase the number of refugees from Syria, Somalia and Yemen, “despite the health risks of Covid-19.”
A Facebook spokesperson told the site: “We reject these ads because we do not allow claims that people’s physical safety and health or their survival are threatened by people based on their national origin or immigration status.”
Before being removed, the ads received a trade number of between 300,000 and 350,000, according to Facebook’s ad library.
In August, Facebook removed a video of Trump for the first time, due to what it described as “misleading” information about the emerging corona virus.
The clip was part of an interview that Trump conducted with the American “Fox News”, in which he said that children are “immune to infection” with Covid-19, while urging him to reopen schools, despite the warning from the experts.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, affiliated with the US Department of Health, say that adults make up the majority of cases of the disease so far, but children and babies also get it and can pass it on to other people.
Twitter blocked the same video from its platform after Facebook moved in this direction.
And Twitter had gotten into a dispute with the president of the United States, earlier, after the site blocked another tweet about the protests, in Minneapolis, about the murder of the black American, George Floyd, on the grounds that it violated the principles of the site of “glorify violence”.
Twitter also asked its users to verify the facts in two tweets, from the president of the United States, regarding voting by mail.
