> Responding to Ms Warren’s adverts, a Facebook spokesperson told CNN: “If Senator Warren wants to say things she knows to be untrue, we believe Facebook should not be in the position of censoring that speech.”
Well, at least they're principled about it. They'll take your money either way.
CNN notably did not run the ad:
> CNN requested that the advertiser remove the false graphic that says the mainstream media is ‘fake news.’ The mainstream media is not fake news, and therefore the ad is false,” the network said at the time. “Per our policy, it will be accepted only if that graphic is deleted.
Which seems like an an awfully self-interested reason to reject the ad.
- uncoder0 7y agoI respect the principal. It's messy when you start censoring public figures. Let them speak how they want and let the people decide through a 10 second google if it's fact or fiction.
- codq 7y agoThe entire game is exploiting those who lack the critical thinking skills to sufficiently fact check themselves. The median IQ is 100.
- farah7 7y agoAn IQ of 100 is now low by any means. I doubt the primary incentive is to seek out those with lack of critical thinking skills as they are actually a minority and would turn off the majority.
