Facebook deemed an LGBTQ clinic's ads promoting HIV prevention 'political,' blocking the ads until the clinic went through a process meant for politicians

An LGBTQ health center says it tried to run ads on Facebook promoting HIV prevention, but that Facebook initially blocked the ads because it determined they were about"social issues, elections, or politics." Apicha Community Health Center was told by Facebook that it wouldn't be allowed to run the ads until it cleared a rigorous authorization process, because Facebook has a high bar for ads related to politics.
