This movement to get social media to enforce misinformation is a new one. It might be the right thing to do, but it's drastically different than the status quo.
- Traster 7y agoYou're confusing political ads with adverts from political candidates. Your link specifically notes the difference, TV stations won't censor adverts from candidates but will from super PACs. So glassing over that difference is a bit of a red flag, since the super PAC ads are exactly what's at issue on facebook.
- chillacy 7y agoI guess I'm still one outrage behind when CNN and Warren were complaining about the Trump Biden ads (which was technically a candidate ad).
