Facebook has no business saying which ads are wrong/lies. If they do this it opens up such a can of worms. Their stance is the only logical stance. I imagine if AOC's ads were blocked on Facebook she would suddenly want answers and claim she was censored.
- throw_m239339 7y ago> Facebook has no business saying which ads are wrong/lies I mean it can and it does. The problem for Facebook is who Facebook should pander to. Politicians that want to break up Facebook, Google and co, or their opponent? There is an obvious conflict of interest, but many businesses have no problem promoting this or that political camp or politicians. What is interesting in Facebook case is the internal struggle between the top and some political activist employees who disagree on who Facebook should give a platform to.
- partiallypro 7y agoThe people that want to break up Facebook are the same people that want Facebook policing political speech. I don't see the conflict of interest on Facebook's part in this regard.
- throw_m239339 7y agoYes, but the dissident employees also want Facebook policing political speech.
- int_19h 7y agoYou're making an awful lot of assumptions. I want to break up Facebook; but so long as it exists in its present form, I don't want it to be policing any speech, much less political speech.
