The page also details an extensive list of "Prohibited Content," including, "Content that demeans, degrades, or shows hate toward a particular race, gender, culture, country, belief, or toward any member of a protected class."
A spokesperson from Snap tells Mashable: "The ad was reviewed and approved in error, as it violates our advertising guidelines. We immediately removed the ad last weekend, once we became aware. We are sorry that this happened."

"Throw the whole app-oligy away," she wrote in a statement.
A new statement from Snap provided to Mashablevia a company spokesperson reads:
"This advertisement is disgusting and never should have appeared on our service. We are so sorry we made the terrible mistake of allowing it through our review process. We are investigating how that happened so that we can make sure it never happens again."
