in World News Dennis Quaid Says Facebook Is ‘Censoring The Free Flow Of Ideas,’ Throttling ‘Reagan’ Movie Promos
By Virginia Kruta
Actor Dennis Quaid said that Facebook has been “throttling advertising” for his upcoming film, “Reagan,” due out in theaters in late August.
In a letter sent to Newsweek, Quaid said, “Facebook is once again censoring the free flow of ideas, deciding what’s best for us to see and hear; only this time it’s throttling advertising and promotion for my movie about Ronald Reagan.”
“Like the old Soviet Union—are we turning into a country of tech oligarchs who control the platform of groupthink to silence the individual or ‘other’ groups?” he continued, noting that no one at Facebook had even seen the movie yet.
In addition to Quaid’s complaints on the issue, director of digital marketing Eric McClellan sent a letter directly to Mark Zuckerberg. In the letter, he cited a particularly “egregious” example of Facebook’s attempt to quell their advertising.
The ad in question, McClellan wrote, was nothing more than a photo of Quaid with the movie’s title, “Reagan,” and a quote from the late President Ronald Reagan: “Don’t let anyone tell you that America’s best days are behind her—that the American spirit has been vanquished. We’ve seen it triumph too often in our lives not to believe it now.”
