My original comment was that they seem to have rules that aren't public, and rejected content with explanations that don't make sense. Escalation to humans did nothing.
For what it's worth the ads do have more docs on what ads are accepted.

Going off the rails here but you brought it up (i am GP?), I'm actually pissed ads aren't back up!!!
It's hindering our business (enough to hurt), preventing fundraising, and really hurts smaller campaigns.
However from my (Dem) perspective I do think FB should act like TV stations and fact check.
One study in my city said 1 minute of fact check for every 160 minutes of ads (I think i remember that roughly correct).
I also especially had beef with the super weak 'projected winner' banner on posts with Biden/Trump post election. It compounded the lie. Projected gives a false sense of 'up in the air.'
They knew that Trump and MAGA media are using nonsense to lie to people. It ended up with insurrection at the capitol.
They should have called Biden the winner -> link to the facts. Most media went beyond projected after a few days.
They again should have also followed the rest of the media by adding another few words to combat the lies from MAGA once they continued and escalated: all lawsuits got thrown out with prejudice the election is not contested.
NyTimes et al use language like baseless, 'Mr. Trump's lie', unfounded. They now go further and use words like extreme, conspiracy, 'cult figure.'
