Elizabeth Warren’s Facebook ad illustrates the company’s politics problem
- mikece 7y agoI think it's a good publicity gambit, one that Facebook plays best by emphasizing that they are a platform and not a media company with editorial control or policies. If speech on the platform is illegal (eg: libelous or inciting crime) then with proper law enforcement engagement the problem is solved. Of course Facebook is already on record of making editorial decisions and removing content so the above argument rings hollow and further plays into Warren's assertion (as well as the argument of many conservatives who claim they are being targeted because of their values which, if true, would would eliminate Facebook's argument of being a neutral platform).
