Title (and headline of TFA) is misleading, as Facebook didn't ban a film, it rejected a user from using its ads program based on the film's title. Will be interesting to see if the lawsuit goes anywhere.
- mynameisvlad 4y agoIt banned a film from its ad program. And the user who tried to advertise it. And the composer of the title track. I mean, they're not banned from Facebook, but the title didn't say that either. It said that the company Facebook banned a film. Which it did.
- lupire 4y agoThey can presumably advertise the film under a different title, with a clickthrough to info with the proper title. Facebook should have better credibility vetting, for things like movies distributed by recognized distributors with a good reputation.
- prvc 4y agoInterestingly, according to the IMDB, the "blue eyes" title is already the second one used for the film. Why they'd choose something so dicey by Facebook's standards, when Facebook ads were supposedly such a crucial part of their business plan is unclear.
- mynameisvlad 4y agoNot the composer, who had his entire account suspended from the ads platform for this. I assume the ad account for the film also would have also similarly been suspended.
