Facebook Removes Trump Campaign Content for Alleged Rule Violations
Facebook on June 18 removed content posted by President Donald Trump’s campaign, alleging the posts violated hate speech policies.

The campaign ran advertisements encouraging people to sign a petition opposing the anarcho-communist group Antifa. The posts included an inverted red triangle that a Trump campaign official said is used by members of Antifa; some critics countered that the symbol was used by the Nazis.
