I think most people just think Facebook ads should be held to same as older media like newspapers and tv that have to have an editor review the ad and approve it before it can be published. Facebook is being used as a disinformation platform and Zuckerberg thinks it’s more important to keep making money. I don’t think that trade off is worth what it’s doing to society. I think Facebook has a large share of the blame for making political discourse worse.

Its akin to having a nation-wide mini mart chain knowingly structure their inventory to help children buy cigarettes. They know it is happening and it is wrong, but they make money doing it so they will drag their heals (CVS pun) for as long as possible. This is the kinda thing corps get fined billions of dollars for.
