1. On Thursday, I reported to Facebook that Congressional candidate Marjorie Taylor Greene was running an ad encouraging violence against protesters
In the ad, Greene cocks a semi-automatic rifle while she delivers a message to “ANTIFA terrorists”

2. After I reported it, Facebook took the ad down, but not before it reached 50,000 Georgia voters.
Greene then went on Tucker Carlson to complain about how she was being "censored" by Facebook

3. Now, Greene has a new Facebook ad WHICH WAS APPROVED BY FACEBOOK featuring her appearance on Tucker, INCLUDING THE FULL VIDEO FROM HER FIRST AD
The explicit purpose of the ad is to evade Facebook's rules: "Spread this video far and wide before Facebook censors this video!"

4. The new ad has already been viewed 20K times by Georgia voters. AND TODAY IS ELECTION DAY.
I've reported it to Facebook but the damage is done.
How am I able to do this and Facebook, which earned 4.9 billion in profit in the first 3 months of 2020, cannot

5. Why wouldn't Facebook manually review Greene's ads, at least after it was already established she was breaking the rules?
Why am I working as an unpaid Facebook comment moderator?
None of it makes sense.

6. No matter how frustrating this gets, I will continue to hold powerful companies like Facebook accountable.
This is a pretty important election and things are likely to get worse.

UPDATE: Facebook finally took this ad down AFTER the primary election was over (which Greene won).
She will now participate in a runoff
Greene had stopped running the ad before Facebook enforced its rules against advocating violence
