Contrarian view: Warren has proved that she / her team think they can help themselves to other people's intellectual property (Facebook logo etc.)

If you want to advertise on [your platform of choice], make sure you understand their policies and respect them. Don't disregard the policies then cry foul when they're enforced.

Yeah, they pretty much fuck up everyone's ads, at least at some point. No one is immune.
