According to foreign media reports, an anti-Tesla advocacy group called Project Dawn (Dawn Project) recently accused Twitter of banning its anti-Tesla ads on the grounds that it violated its "political" advertising policy.

It is reported that the Dawn Project recently published a full-page advertisement in foreign media, criticizing Tesla's fully autopilot system as "a life threat to children pedestrians." The group claimed that it had hoped to promote the ad on Twitter, but Twitter refused to approve it on the grounds that it violated advertising policy for "political reasons".

However, the group's founder, Dan O'Dowd, who ran for the California Senate earlier this year, still tweeted normally, but Dawn failed to promote it, limiting interaction rates.

It is reported that the long-standing discord between Musk and Odod. In August, Tesla issued a letter of prohibition to Project Liming, asking it to remove the video posted on YouTube showing Tesla's car crushing a child-sized mannequin.

A spokesman for Dawn Project said it was the first time they had encountered such a problem and had only occurred since Mr Musk took over Twitter. The spokesman said that the organization had previously posted on Twitter to emphasize many of the dangers of Tesla's fully autonomous driving, and still passed the review of Twitter. Odod said in a statement that the rejection of the advertisement was a disturbing signal that people had to question his commitment to free speech. "

Odod plans to appeal against Twitter's decision.
