Facebook Acknowledges Limiting Ads for New “Reagan” Film

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.

STOP THE RADICAL LEFT FROM TAKING OVER IN 2026

As a retired Marine Corps General with nearly 50 years of service to the USA, I’m telling you to never underestimate our adversary. Contrary to media reports, they’ve got a plan to sabotage GOP efforts and distract you. They want you to abandon America’s Golden Age. Don’t let them succeed. Stand with me, Jack Bergman, and let’s defeat the left on Capitol Hill!

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.”
