Facebook bans ‘degrading’ charity ad about sight loss

YouTube channel campaign aiming to promote the need for sight loss advisers in UK hospitals blocked on social media site for breaking guidelines on language

Facebook has banned a hard-hitting ad campaign by the Royal National Institute of Blind People, arguing that users of the social networking site should only see "neutral or positive" messages.

The RNIB launched the ad on its YouTube channel and has been seeking to run a campaign featuring the video across Facebook.
