Facebook reverses course after 'permanently' locking account of conservative children's book publisher

Meta, the company that owns Facebook, has reinstated the ads account of the conservative children's book publisher, Heroes of Liberty, after it previously told the publisher that its account had been "permanently disabled." 

Facebook originally said that Heroes of Liberty – which has published books about Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, former President Ronald Reagan and author Thomas Sowell – violated the company's rules against "Low Quality or Disruptive Content." Facebook originally locked the ads account on Dec. 23, and after Heroes of Liberty appealed the ruling, the company permanently disabled the account. 

"I wanted to let you know that the ads account was disabled in error and has been restored, Drew Pusateri, a spokesperson for Meta, told FOX Business on Monday.

"They proactively reached out to several members of Congress and told *them* it was a mistake and we’re back online. Those offices told us," Heroes of Liberty editor and board member Bethany Mandel confirmed to FOX Business on Monday. "They didn’t reach out to us."
