Facebook Bans Ads Promoting Weapons Ahead of US Inauguration Day by EngrHumble(m): 7:02am On Jan 18, 2021
Facebook says it is temporarily banning ads that promote weapon accessories and protective equipment in the United States ahead of Inauguration Day and at least through Jan. 22.

The company said in a blog post, Saturday about Inauguration Day preparations that the move was being made “out of an abundance of caution".

“We already prohibit ads for weapons, ammunition and weapon enhancements like silencers. But we will now also prohibit ads for accessories such as gun safes, vests and gun holsters in the US,” Facebook said.

Facebook previously announced it is cracking down on the “Stop the Steal” rallying cry in an emergency move to head off potential violence before President Donald Trump leaves office and President-elect Joe Biden is sworn in to take his place.

Facebook said Friday that it’s “monitoring for signals of violence or other threats” both in Washington, D.C., and across all states and “have implemented a series of additional measures to continue preventing attempts to use our services for violence,” which include its ongoing pause of all political advertising.
