Provocative Sex Toy Ads To Appear On NYC Subway — But Not AFDI’s Pro-Freedom Ads

Despite having won numerous legal free speech battles against the NYC MTA to run our pro-Israel, anti-jihad ads in New York’s transit system, the NYC MTA several years ago prohibited all of our ads under the guise of a political/issue-related advertising ban.

“The MTA has always and will continue to ensure that our policies are applied evenly and fairly,” Jon Weinstein, the MTA spokesman, said Thursday, following the outcry Wednesday….
