I was reading an interesting Twitter thread on why Trump is spending insane amounts on ads on FB right now (roughly $500k a week!) with many purposefully breaking Facebook’s own guidelines on what’s acceptable. Basically the person was saying Trump is playing a game of chicken with Facebook daring them to remove them so he can play the victim card and claim bias against conservatives. And if they don’t take them down then he gets to spread ads that clearly violate the company’s policy and make them look hypocritical either way.
The point is he’s buying a ton of ads that purposefully cross Facebook’s own policy on political ad spend to force them to either take action so he can claim victim status or keep them up and look like hypocrites.
