One problem is that we have two extremes: - Twitter: no political ads - Facebook: any political ads, including lying. It would be nice to at LEAST have an agreement that ads saying things that are objectively incorrect should not be run. For example, if I ran an ad that said "Hacker News was owned by Rupert Murdock" (which is false) then this ad should be blocked. There might need to be some penalty applied retroactively. Like if you're busted running a fake political ad your company is on timeout for 60 days. To be fair, I realize this is a difficult problem this is why we might have to add a penalty period. Surely we can live in a world where we have facts, right?
