Faced with Ad Boycott, Facebook Takes Down Trump Ad with Nazi Symbol

HeadlineJun 19, 2020

In other Facebook news, the social media platform has taken down a Trump campaign ad that displayed a symbol once used by the Nazis. The red triangle was used to identify communists and other political prisoners in concentration camps. Facebook claimed the post violated its policy against “organized hate.” The move came a day after the NAACP and other civil rights groups called on advertisers to boycott Facebook during the month of July as part of a campaign called “Stop Hate for Profit.” Meanwhile, Twitter has labeled a doctored video tweeted by Trump to be “manipulated media” for the first time. The fake video purported to be a CNN report about a racist baby.
