Happy to help, but all of these questions have already been answered in this comment section.
> If the same ad is run with a different symbol, would it be fine?
They did run it with other symbols, and those were not taken down. https://twitter.com/ParkerMolloy/status/1273636769704091654 https://twitter.com/ParkerMolloy/status/1273636769704091654
> What are the list of symbols that are not to be used in ad campaigns?
This is like asking for a list of sentences that can't be used. It's obviously impossible. You can't enumerate every bad thing in the world, especially when the whole point of being human is that we can invent brand new things.
It's just not a reasonable thing to ask for. It's like a kid in school getting detention for bullying a classmate and saying "Well this isn't fair, how was I supposed to know? Give me a list of everything I'm not allowed to say!"
> So I am not sure what exactly the motivation is behind a red triangle (I saw the comment about "nazi concentration camp symbols").
Yes, that was it.
> Lastly, facebook probably removes ads all the time for all sort of minor reasons. Is there a good reason to believe this was somehow malicious?
Because they said so.
> A Facebook spokesperson told Media Matters in a statement that “We removed these posts and ads for violating our policy against organized hate. Our policy prohibits using a banned hate group's symbol to identify political prisoners without the context that condemns or discusses the symbol.”
