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 Is Israel’s fate tied to Syria? Syria has fallen, but we are still far from seeing the last of the hostages returned. Our brave soldiers must fight to secure Israel’s borders, rid the region of emboldened attackers all over the Middle East, and adapt to the escalating threats from Syria, but Israel doesn’t have enough supplies to properly win this war. Can you support our IDF sons and daughters as they continue fighting for the Survival of the Promised Land?.

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.”
