After Facebook blocked an ad honoring a police officer injured in the line of duty, the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police started a petition campaign to lift the restriction, arguing that Facebook made a mistake.
But Facebook says it correctly blocked the ad based on its advertising policy, which says any ad mentioning political figures is a political and needs additional verification. Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police can still promote the ad as a political ad through an authorization process, Facebook told The Epoch Times.
