I'm confused. Are you suggesting that Facebook is a publishing outlet like NY Times? No snark (since everyone on this god forsaken site assumes it first) just a genuine question.

And they are a media platform that distributes news. Digital media companies should comply with the same rules as the old traditional media.

Warren's actual ad is linked in this story. Warren did an 'ackshually FB didn't endorse Trump' in the body of the ad. So, in essence, Warren lied about running an ad about FB/Zuck endorsing trump. https://www.wthr.com/article/verify-no-facebook-didnt-endorse-president-trump … _

Exactly. This is ONLY about FB hiding behind the outdated "platform" rather than publisher law. That was cute when it was about avoiding responsibility for user comments. Targeted, paid political ads, and being a news publisher were never contemplated.

In addition, it's one thing to use free speech to post lies on a timeline for people who follow you, it's different to pay a platform to send targeted lies to people that aren't following a person.

It's always a concern just who will be the final arbiter of what's true and false in politics. Informed voters should decide that.

Why do you assume voters are informed? What informs them? The information presented in the places they choose to obtain that information. In this case, if FB is that place, they are being MISinformed, not informed, and act accordingly. We have proven evidence of this from 2016

It’s not the running of political ads, it’s about allowing checkable lies !!! If I was to have a ad that had an obvious lie in it about someone, I could be sued!! Politicians should be held to the same standards and laws!!!
