The Trump campaign's ad was banned because it presumed a person's gender, violating Facebook's advertising policies.

So, the problem, actually... The Trump ad, the problem that it had and the reason that it was disallowed was that it presumed a person's gender in the ad itself, which is against Facebook's ad policies. Quite literally, if you look at Facebook's advertising rules, the first thing you'll find is a link to the rules about personal attributes. Quote, So what they do is they allow, like, we're looking for Christians. But they don't allow, are you a Christian? They don't do that. That is disallowed. Okay, so you can't be like, are you an... Indian with a broken leg who is dabbling in Buddhism, then you should be voting for Trump. Right. They don't allow that sort of... Even though you can target people based on who should see this ad, you still can't, in the body of the ad, presume someone's... any characteristic about them. That's deemed against their policies.
