Facebook restores Sen. Elizabeth Warren's ads calling for breaking up Big Tech
New York Oops. Facebook, under pressure from US Senator Elizabeth Warren for its vast power over information, removed ads supporting Warren's controversial plan to break up Big Tech.
The ads, posted by Warren's presidential campaign, called for the breakup of Facebook, Amazon and Google — saying the three tech giants have"bulldozed competition, used our private information for profit and tilted the playing field in their favor." The ad removals were first reported by Politico. In a statement Monday, a Facebook spokesperson said the company originally removed the ads because of a policy violation against using Facebook's logo, but it was restoring them.
— Elizabeth Warren March 11, 2019 On Monday evening, Warren cited the ad removals as evidence that the company has too much power."Thanks for restoring my posts," she tweeted."But I want a social media marketplace that isn't dominated by a single censor."Donie O'Sullivan and Heather Kelly contributed reporting.
