Facebook response to their rejection of my anti-Modi “boost” to a post is amazingly obtuse. Have asked further questions.

Update on my previous blog post on this topic, here.

The following is what I received back from FB:

MY RESPONSE

I’d appreciate if you can elaborate on “content advertised by this ad is prohibited”.

What content is being advertised? It is merely my tweet. What’s the issue with this tweet? It is merely challenging Modi, who bans beef in India because the cow is apparently his “mother”, to take his “mother” home.

A plain English explanation would be useful, so I can understand what is bothering Facebook in this very simple case of questioning someone who interferes in people’s dietary choice.

Regards
Sanjeev
