WASHINGTON -- Facebook will remove more than 1,000 Trump campaign ads directing people to fill out an online form titled "Official 2020 Congressional District Census," after Democrats criticized them as misleading.

For weeks, the Republican National Committee has sent people across the country mailers designed to look like official census forms, including a lengthy questionnaire on blue-tinted paper similar to the type used by the real census. The Facebook ads placed by President Donald Trump's campaign direct people to an online version and asks for a donation.

"There are policies in place to prevent confusion around the official U.S. census, and this is an example of those being enforced," said Facebook representative Kevin McAlister.

Facebook said in December it would remove all intentionally inaccurate posts about the U.S. census, saying its new policy "bans misleading information about when and how to participate in the census and the consequences of participating."

agreed

only time i used an account was when H&i were still on different continents and sometimes (often) ran out of pm space here. came in handy. but, no, i do NOT want to play farming or candy crush or all the other stuff... i understand why some like it, for the back and forth chit-chat between friends, but i cannot deal with the bombardment of all the rest or the expectations to share my entire life details every single day!

This, and an Astronomy site and a Physics site make up my total online social network... I don't even subscribe to any form of TV.
