[Klug-general] [ot] website blacklisted

[Peter Apps]

HI,

I found it difficult even setting up a Facebook account. It turned out the 
problem was because of my surname - Apps. I tried setting up a page and it was 
removed warning me not contravene their rules again.

I still don't know what the problem was and I was even planning an advertising 
campaign on Facebook.

I just found them extremely unhelpful and I used Google Ads instead. 

Peter.
