BBC complained after clips of its political editor used in
election campaign without permission
Facebook has banned a Conservative party campaign advert that used footage of the BBC’s political editor Laura Kuenssberg and News at 10 host Huw Edwards, saying it violated the corporation’s intellectual property rights.
The clips, which were used without permission from the
BBC, featured Kuenssberg saying the words “pointless delay to Brexit”, though she in fact appears to have been quoting Boris Johnson. Edwards is then shown talking about “another
Brexit delay” followed by shaky footage of opposition leaders set to threatening music.
