Facebook recently removed advertisements for a book critiquing a radical form of feminism, claiming the book didn’t comply with its policies.

A message to Guadalupe Gifts, a Catholic gift store, showed that the company rejected the ads for “The Anti-Mary Exposed: Rescuing The Culture From Toxic Femininity,” while citing a set of rules for what products can be sold or advertised on Facebook.
