Meta bans ads for Virginia Woolf play in Spain because they relate to feminism
Summary
The Guardian reports that Meta has barred ads promoting a Barcelona stage adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own due to the content touching on feminism and social topics. Meta’s automated system classifies mentions of civil rights, feminism or social reform as 'social topics' and filters them out, prompting the theatre to remove keywords. The piece highlights tensions between platform moderation policies and artistic expression, with responses from the theatre and context on Woolf’s feminist legacy.
