Hello, I am new and looking for help with an issue I am having. I own a gun business and posted an ad on facebook and within minutes it got denied. They said Cause it had to do with guns and ammo. I understand this and let it slide off my shoulder. The problem I am having now is every page I click on there is tons of companies advertising guns and ammo on facebook. I have saved screen shots and and gone to the help section and tried to report all of these companies but nobody from facebook will return my message and daily I see them still on here. I have thought seriously about hiring an atty and sueing them for discrimination of my business only but allowing others with the same type of sales. Any ideas on how to get facebook to cancel these other ads?

Do you mean these are on Facebook pages?

Your product would seem to be breaking Facebook's T&c though ....

I guess that is your choice if you so wish..

No not the pages themselves. Im talking about when you are on your profile page and on the right hand side you see three or four small ads or if you are on a friends page or just about any page there are ads on the right side. Thats what I'm talking about. The ad itself which is prohibited. There is no report button there or I would have hit it.
