Meanwhile, human trafficking and drug dealing run rampant on the platform around the world.<\/p>\n<p>BBC News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/uk-wales-60459753\">reports<\/a> that Hope Rescue, a dog rescue charity based in Wales, claims that Facebook placed restrictions on the charity\u2019s Facebook page causing them to lose around\u00a0\u00a315,000 ($20,412) in donations. The charity had recitations placed on its social media pages after it promoted a raffle that included alcohol as a prize. The raffles are legal by UK law and had been promoted on Facebook in the past without issue.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<div id=\"attachment_19384154\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.breitbart.com\/media\/2022\/01\/GettyImages-944204428-e1641480910116.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-19384154\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/GettyImages-944204428-1024x674-1.jpg\" alt=\"Facebook\" width=\"990\" height=\"652\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">(SAUL LOEB\/AFP via Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Hope Rescue founder Vanessa Waddon told BBC Radio Wales that the charity had regularly included alcohol as a prize in its fundraising efforts without issue.
