Spent $50 boosting a post about local park funding that got flagged for 'political content'
Our neighborhood group made a simple graphic asking people to email the city council about fixing the playground. I paid to boost it on a big social site so more locals would see it. Two hours later, the ad got rejected and the post itself was hidden, saying it broke rules on 'social issues'. We lost the money and the reach. Has anyone found a clear way to appeal these kind of blanket political flags?

Did you try asking them to review it as a community issue?

Yeah, because that's worked so well before.

Asking for a review won't fix the core problem. The rules are too broad and the system is automated. A post about playground safety gets the same flag as a national election ad. I've seen a bake sale for new library books get blocked for being "political." We need clearer rules, not just a chance to beg for a manual review after our money is gone.
