Twitter Takes Down Rep. Blackburn’s Campaign Ad Over Pro-Life Message – By OAN Newsroom (oann.com) / Oct 10 2017
“Im 100% pro life…I fought Planned Parenthood and we stopped the sale of baby body parts thank God.”
That line prompted Twitter to block a campaign ad for Republican representative Marsha Blackburn.
Twitter told Blackburn it blocked the ad because it was “deemed to be an inflammatory statement likely to evoke a strong negative reaction.”
Blackburn was the chair of a Republican-run House panel created to investigate Planned Parenthood and fetal tissue research.
“It is astounding to me that Twitter, which is an important outlet, would choose not only to censor a political ad but to censor a pro-life message,” said Blackburn. “This is a pro-woman, pro-baby, pro-life message.”
Blackburn is running to fill the Senate seat of retiring Senator Bob Corker.
She shared the ad from her campaign account in her effort to stand up to Silicon Valley

PB/TK – Well folks it’s come to this; political ad censorship. It’s not surprising considering how people have complained about innuendos or hidden messages in ads. I question will Social Media find a campaign ad offensive when a politician brags about their 2nd amendment policy in wake of the next mass attack?
