I'm disappointed with the Facebook ad decision. Not a smart move for the company; targeting limits and a minimal standard on claims about opponents would represent a defensible, non-partisan and helpful position.

I mostly agree with you, and I think many in the media will come to regret their strident pushing for Facebook to take on so much power. That being said, all at-scale online speech is moderated to reduce various risks. These platforms would be completely unusable if not.

That's why I think the most important change would be limits on targeting, which reduces the incentive for campaigns to build massive data operations and to portray the candidate as a different person to thousands of special interest voting blocks.
