U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren took aim at Facebook...
- U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren took aim at Facebook’s political advertising policies on Monday, suggesting without evidence that a change in the social media giant’s policy might have been linked to a recent meeting between Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and President Donald Trump.
Its new online policy prohibits “ads that include claims debunked by third-party fact checkers or, in certain circumstances, claims debunked by organizations with particular expertise,” but this has led some to point out that politicians’ ads and posts are exempt from Facebook’s fact-checking program.
“After that meeting, Facebook quietly changed its policies on ‘misinformation’ in ads,” she asked. “Put another way, Facebook is now okay with running political ads with known lies,” she added.
