After reaching out to Meta about why the promo campaign had been stomped out, the company replied that “any mention of civil rights, feminism or social reform are usually classified as ‘social topics’ by our automatic system,” and therefore rejected.

First of all, there's no such thing as an advertisement without social implications. And also, you can be certain that their ban of "social topics" will impact feminist fiction but not anti feminist fiction

Lol. Imagine a social media website banning 'social topics'. It's baffling that anyone still uses it.
