      This makes no sense. A candidate can’t pay Facebook to spread lies if they admit that’s what they’re doing. But if they don’t explicitly admit it, Facebook will take their money to spread their lies? (There’s no easy way to fix paid digital microtargeting for political messages).https://twitter.com/donie/status/1189325948040220673 …

      A Facebook spokesperson telling CNN: “This person has made clear he registered as a candidate to get around our policies, so his content, including ads, will continue to be eligible for third-party fact-checking.”

      With this, Facebook is declaring that it won't decide what's an outright lie in political ads but it will decide who is an actual political candidate. The former is much more within their rights (despite all the complexities) but the latter one isn't their job or right at all.

          This is the kind of unethical policy design that encourages disinformation as an agency in bad actors.

          Why, it's almost like they're making choices based solely on the criteria of how to prop up the establishment while maximizing their profits. No actual principles are involved.

          Hmm. Why not use local, state or national bars around candidacy already in place ... e.g. for inclusion in debates and ballots? Defining “a serious candidate” (from a programming standpoint) is a lot easier from those rules that exist... than defining truth in advertising!

          Facebook is not good at thinking deeply because of the CEO. Dude should try finishing college.
