It’s crazy. This is a great game. Everyone, especially if you are interested in history or the legal system should go back it/support this game.

Ironic because I remember seeing a board game and for a game about sensitive libs, or something equally stupid, that they had no problem running

Letting Russian and Chinese trolls away pretending to be Americans is cool though.

I am so glad I’d left that monument to corporate idiocracy for good

Yet Facebook has no problem running ads for websites that dupe consumers into buying puzzles and games and steep discounts, but never deliver the goods. We've had this issue with our Cobble Hill Puzzles. And Facebook keeps on running the ads, even after being notified. Fraud apparently is okay.

Facebook logic:

Running ads for scammers defrauding Facebook users... OK

Running ads with "sensitive social issues"... BANNED

This happened with an ad campaign I ran for a company before. Months of time trying to resolve it led to nothing. Nobody is home in the House of Zuck.

Please tell me why shrimp Jesus isn't a sensitive social issue but this is

Oh man, I hope the never play Corporate America.

I won’t even rant about how absurd and dangerous things have become regarding what information you see and don’t see…. Ugh. So sad I am going to go on Kickstarter now. Thanks for sharing.

Algorithm at work again most likely. This will probably get reversed once protest hits a crucial mass, but - once again - it shows why relying on automated algorithms for such decisions is A BAD THING.

I've worked with the FB ads team before and it's wild how much they flag. We couldn't run Pride month content for the same "sensitive social issue" reason. It took weeks to get resolved.
