Facebook Blocks Republican Congressional Candidate Ad

Facebook has restricted Republican congressional candidate Elizabeth Heng's campaign from placing a video ad, deeming it too "shocking, disrespectful or sensational" because it features her American immigrant parents, who survived brutalities by the Khmer Rouge communists during the Cambodian Civil War.

"It is unbelievable that Facebook could have such blatant disregard for the history that so many people, including my own parents, have lived through," says the 33-year-old Republican contender, who is challenging incumbent Democrat Jim Costa for California's 16th congressional district seat, in a statement.
