#IRELAND: Facebook Pulls Party's Ads For Failing To Carry "Paid For" Disclaimer

[world politics news]


Facebook has removed ads by the Renua  Ireland Party after they were found to have breached the social media site's policies on political advertising.

Facebook reportedly told party officials the ads failed to have a "paid for by" disclaimer. The party's treasurer said the omission was unintentional.

The social media giant is under pressure from the political left to ban political advertising on the platform, as Twitter has already done. Renua Ireland is a populist political party contesting this month's election. Facebook said content was not a factor in his decision to pull the ads.

The ads, which were running on the platform until Wednesday night, detailed immigration and crime policies and a promise to “restore the green passport” as “a symbol of our independent policy direction within the EU." European Union passport covers are blue.
