The Biden Campaign says Facebook has mistakenly blocked thousands of Biden ads this week.

The Biden campaign’s digital director, Rob Flaherty, said, “We find ourselves 5 days out from Election Day unable to trust that our ads will run properly, or if our opponents are being given an unfair, partisan advantage.”

Facebook introduced a new rule on Tuesday that no new political ads should be placed in the week running up to the election.

Facebook says Biden’s ads were accidentally marked as missing the deadline—when in fact they’d met the deadline.

The Biden campaign says it’s lost half a million dollars of fundraising revenue because of it.
