Facebook bites back over Brexit chocolate ad

Dr Finn MacLeod and his Brexit Box from his company Chocface has also been hit by a Facebook ban.

Facebook accounts that challenge misinformation or sell 'Brexit' chocolates have become “collateral damage” as the social media platform tries to purge extremist content and lies online.

Colm Ryan of Cork Skeptics, a science-led group that hosts meetings and talks with respected academics to promote critical thinking and debunk pseudoscience, said that their page and all the administrator’s personal Facebook accounts were shut down twice in two months.
