We easily ran blatantly misleading ads about hot-button political topics like immigration and gun control, and Facebook failed to catch them

Another ad warned ICE and Customs agents that they "will face justice"

This post linked back to the homepage of RAICES Texas, a non-profit that provides legal services to immigrant and refugee families.A second, nearly identical and also false version of the same ad was not approved by Facebook. It was unclear why the earlier ad ran while the other was rejected.

Our last ad targeted people who are firearms instructors or work for Smith & Wesson Inc. or the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, the gun rights group's lobbying arm.The ad falsely told users that their respective employers "enable criminals" and that they may "face charges" under the next administration. The ad ran on Facebook and Instagram for about 24 hours.In total, the three ads reached a miniscule portion of Facebook and Instagram's estimated 2.
