This article is littered with easily disprovable falsehoods, from the headline down.
Let’s start with the headline: The article wasn’t banned. A paid ad promoting the article was delisted.

Next is @DanielJHannan’s false claim that the JLI’s ad was pulled “without explanation.”
A swift visit to Facebook Ad Library reveals it was pulled because FB requires political content to carry a disclaimer declaring who paid for it.

See? Look... 
So the article wasn’t banned, the ad wasn’t pulled without explanation, and as one might expect, it was nothing to do with “algorithms” screening out “right of centre opinions”. And it’s not “impossible to know what the offence was”.
They just didn’t read the rules before they placed the ad.
Should add that it took me literally three minutes to find all this out sitting on my sofa with an iPad. And Daniel Hannan is a peer of the realm.
