Facebook bans ads for award-winning Votes for Women board game’s new Kickstarter, claims it is a “sensitive social issue”

boardgamewire.com Facebook bans ads for award-winning Votes for Women board game’s new Kickstarter, claims it is a “sensitive social issue” -

Votes for Women, the critically acclaimed card-driven wargame about the fight for women's suffrage in the US, stands to miss out on up to $60,000 of backing for its second print run after Facebook repeatedly banned ads for the game due to it featuring a "sensitive social issue".

Meanwhile, I reported comments calling for the mass execution of LGBT folk and "this is not against community standards".
- It's insane. Your report requires that someone reads the posts and is literate enough to understand the meaning of the content. It should not stand, and if it was posted by a real local person, then you should alert the authorities.
  I reported someone for posting a shock video of a graphic and violent traffic accident, in a local marketplace group. It requires that someone presses play and watches 5sec, yet that was okay dokey.
  Facebook's own moderation is beyond being a joke, it's a problem.
- The inescapable conclusion is that Facebook's official policy is homophobic.

Damn, all that Women's Suffrage...such a sensitive issue, 103 years later.
- You have no idea how sensitive!
- Looking at the state of women’s rights across the world, yeah?

Facebook is the ass cancer of the internet.
- I sure hope Threads federates this degree of high quality moderated content our way.
- Hey now! Ass cancer killed my mother in law. Don't do Facebook like that.

Genocide is just an opinion, but women's right to vote is a sensitive social issue.

Now they get way more publicity from this article being posted all over the internet

- Why does this seem to be a go to in every Facebook related post now? This has nothing to do with threads, why keep bringing it up?
  
  So just a shot in the dark since I don’t know much about threads, but who owns it?

I've been on Facebook since it opened to the public and watching it turn into nothing but a nazi recruitment platform over the last decade is very disheartening.
I used to love it, especially the games. Now it's nothing but nazis and bigots ruining it for everyone else and there are no human mods and AI doesn't understand context so the second you're on the defensive you get banned.

facebook's pro-nazi, you can tell by the moderation

Bertram said, “Facebook has, of course, ignored any requests for information – so I do not know for sure it is a human taking the ads down, but that is what appears to be happening.
Of course?

That’s fucked up even for Facebook.
- At this point, I don't know that it is...
  
  fair

“The struggle for equal representation and a political voice was at the heart of the suffrage movement."
Well... sort of.

Seems like a sensitive turnout.
