    Facebook shuts down georgia republican site

    I didn't realize this had happened a few days before the election.

    Was it political favoritism or a technical mistake?

    Are you a Facebook fan?

    You might want to reconsider that.

    Facebook takes anti-conservative political positions – even when it is caught and claims it was a mistake.

    A conservative Facebook boycott could make an impact on the progressive tech giant.

    Facebook shut down a fundraising page for Georgia Republican Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue days before voters head to the polls to vote for the Republicans or their Democratic challengers.

    The National Republican Senatorial Committee runs the Georgia Battleground Fund, a joint fundraising committee for the NRSC and the campaigns for Loeffler and Perdue.

    According to the committee, Facebook alerted them that the page was disabled "for policy violation."

    "We don't allow ads that promote products, services, schemes, or offers using deceptive or misleading practices, including those meant to mislead or scam people out of money or personal information," the alert said.

    "Big Tech is at it again," the NRSC said in a statement. "This is unacceptable with only 4 days to Election Day."

    A Facebook spokesperson told news outlets that what happened was a mistake.

    "An automated error caused this ad account to be disabled," the spokesperson said. "The account has since been restored."
