Facebook has restored a children’s book publisher’s access to its ad account after the company claimed that it was permanently blocked from the social media platform.

Facebook told publishing company Heroes of Liberty that because of the “disruptive content” that it had posted, its account was permanently locked. But Andy Stone, a communications officer for Facebook parent company Meta, said on Jan. 3 that the ban was done in error.
