I can't say for sure, but my take is that this is what happened.
The article claims that Facebook deleted the pages once they stopped paying for ads. That's probably not what happened.
Instead, this coincided with the election ending. It's more likely that facebook waited to delete the pages until after the election.
Just a guess, I'd say I'm 70% sure this is the explanation.
- samspenc 5y agoBut it doesn't explain why they would delete an entire page and all its contents?? This is equivalent to saying that it's alright for Facebook to delete the pages and all the content of the Democratic Party, Republican Party AND individual politicians in the US right after a big election (say the 2020 election.)
- mgraczyk 5y agoI didn't say it's alright, I'm just pointing out that it's more likely that it the timing was caused by the election rather than the ad money.
