Facebook blocks false ads from protesting California gubernatorial candidate
- paul7986 7y agoI dont get those who are going after Facebook for this yet they are not going after television stations. They for decades and decades have run any and all political ads; truth or fiction. How is Facebook stance any different then TV, radio and or print industry's stance?
- ratsmack 7y agoI think it's time to consider Facebook as a publisher like the NYT, WaPo and broadcast media, then they would have to follow the same rules.
- paul7986 7y agoHow are they a publisher in this instance? They are not creating/publishing their own content. The NY Times publishes their own content and just like TV, other Internet services/sites and radio broadcasts paid ads. None of them have or ever will verify the veracity of each ad's content. Im just curious how Facebook is different then TV, radio, print and all other Internet services? No one has answered this question.
