Elizabeth Warren's pledge to break up big tech companies has understandably ruffled some feathers.
But her point was somewhat proven on Watch Ignite Vol. 3 OnlineMonday, as per a Politico report, when Facebook briefly took down the senator's ads promoting her plan to curtail the influence of the social media giant.

Each ad had a budget of less than $100 to promote it around the site.
"Facebook and Google account for 70% of all internet traffic — if we didn’t run ads on Facebook, like this one, we wouldn’t be able to get our message out around the country," the ad reads.

A Facebook spokesperson confirmed to Mashable the company had removed the ads, but is bringing them back.
“We removed the ads because they violated our policies against use of our corporate logo. In the interest of allowing robust debate, we are restoring the ads," the spokesperson said.
As per Facebook's ad policy, the company prohibits the use of its corporate logo in its ads. Warren later responded to the takedown and restoration of her ads.
"Thanks for restoring my posts. But I want a social media marketplace that isn't dominated by a single censor," she wrote.
