Facebook censorship is becoming super stringent

I recently tried to boost one of my Active Rain blogs on Facebook :
 
 
The boost targeted men and women, ages 45 - 65+ who live in 4 locations, and have 2 interests.
 
 
 
Received a rejection message stating:
It looks like your ad may be for housing, employment or credit opportunities, or you've included a multicultural affinity segment in your audience. If so, you'll need to certify that you'll comply with our policy prohibiting discrimination and with applicable anti-discrimination laws.
Once you certify, we'll review any disapproved ads from the past three days. Typically, this review takes a few minutes. Approved ads will go live. You can visit Ads Manager to manage ad delivery. Your post is still published on your Page, but it is no longer boosted because it doesn't follow Facebook's Advertising Policies.
I messaged them back asking what needed to be changed? Same reply as above.
 
This morning I read this article that they are banning patriotic songs ? Not sure what is wrong with this either especially on the 4th of July?

Buzz, this just re-affirms my decision to get off that site several years ago.  Yes, how terrible to allow people to listen to a patriotic song, but we can probably view a terrorist beheading an American or Christians in the Middle East.

Thanks for the heads up Buzz.  Interesting development.  I'll be watching to see what happens from here on in.
