Facebook admitted Tuesday that it had limited ads for Dennis Quaid’s new film “Reagan”. The company told Newsweek that “there are no restrictions that would prevent admins from posting. However, we identified a few ads that were incorrectly denied.”

Our automated systems determined by mistake that the content regarding President Reagan was subject to prior approval in accordance with policies for advertisements about Social Issues Elections and Politics. The restriction has been lifted. This was an error, a Facebook spokesperson said to the news outlet.

Quaid said earlier this week that Facebook was “throttling” advertising for his film which is due to be released in theaters at the end of August.

The actor told Newsweek that Facebook was once again censoring free speech, and deciding on what we should see and hear. This time, it was limiting advertising and promotion of his movie about Ronald Reagan.

1776 Coalition Sponsored Don’t let Senate Republicans kill the Trump Agenda Why do Senate Republicans make the rest of the GOP worry every time Congress has a fight over major legislation? They rarely seem to remember that they were elected to protect individual rights, cut spending and limit government overreach. Fortunately, we have our Top Defenders of Liberty leading the way, like: Rand Paul, Mike Lee, and Ron Johnson. Unfortunately, there’s still many others in the U.S. Senate who earned a low score in our Liberty Index, and they need to hear from you. Will you join our efforts to ensure the U.S. Senate passes Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” without compromises or interference from Senate RINOS?

He continued by pointing out that nobody at Facebook had seen the film yet.

In a letter sent to Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s CEO, Eric McClellan cited a “horrible” example of Facebook’s attempts to suppress their advertising. The ad featured a picture of Quaid, along with the title of the film, “Reagan,” as well as a quote by the late president.

Facebook published the post but did not allow payment to “boost”.

McClellan responded that Facebook had said: “[The advertisement] mentions politicians, or is about sensitive topics that could influence the public opinion and how people vote. It may also impact an election outcome or pending legislation.”
