Meta bans ads for Virginia Woolf play in Spain
3 hours ago
- Teatre Raval in Barcelona was banned from promoting a stage adaptation of Virginia Woolf's 'A Room of One's Own' on Instagram and Facebook because the work includes 'social topics' like feminism and civil rights.
- Meta, the parent company, recommended removing keywords to avoid triggering its automated system that filters content related to activism.
- The theatre and actress Clara Sanchis condemned the censorship, calling it an erasure of hard-won societal advances and a dangerous example of bias and manipulation by social media platforms.
