<p>Actor Dennis Quaid said that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/facebook" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Facebook</a> has been &#8220;throttling advertising&#8221; for his upcoming film, &#8220;Reagan,&#8221; due out in theaters in late August.</p>
<p>In a letter sent to Newsweek, Quaid said, &#8220;Facebook is once again censoring the free flow of ideas, deciding what&#8217;s best for us to see and hear; only this time it&#8217;s throttling advertising and promotion for my movie about Ronald Reagan.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Like the old Soviet Union—are we turning into a country of tech oligarchs who control the platform of groupthink to silence the individual or &#8216;other&#8217; groups?&#8221; he continued, noting that no one at Facebook had even seen the movie yet.</p>
<p>In addition to Quaid&#8217;s complaints on the issue, director of digital marketing Eric McClellan sent a letter directly to Mark Zuckerberg. In the letter, he cited a particularly &#8220;egregious&#8221; example of Facebook&#8217;s attempt to quell their advertising.</p>
<p>The ad in question, McClellan wrote, was nothing more than a photo of Quaid with the movie&#8217;s title, &#8220;Reagan,&#8221; and a quote from the late President Ronald Reagan: &#8220;Don&#8217;t let anyone tell you that America&#8217;s best days are behind her—that the American spirit has been vanquished. We&#8217;ve seen it triumph too often in our lives not to believe it now.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to Newsweek, Facebook did allow them to publish the post – but refused to allow them to pay to &#8220;boost&#8221; it in order to achieve a greater reach. The reason given for the denial, McClellan said, was as follows: [The ad] &#8220;mentions politicians or is about sensitive issues that could influence public opinion, how people vote and may impact the outcome of an election or pending legislation.&#8221;</p>
<p><b><a href="http://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1722714742764000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1XzmEsRwzti1RFNuISwYgd">WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI</a></b></p>
<p>&#8220;Zuckerberg is ultimately responsible for all of this because his company says it might influence the presidential election, but the last time Ronald Reagan&#8217;s name was on the ballot was 40 years ago,&#8221; Quaid added. &#8220;My challenge to Facebook is to ask if any of these tactics were used against other recent presidential biopics like &#8216;Lincoln,&#8217; &#8216;LBJ,&#8217; or &#8216;Southside with You,&#8217; a film about President Barack Obama, which was also released during an election year.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Reagan&#8221; is scheduled for release in theaters on August 30.</p>
