Facebook holds incredible power to affect elections and our national debate. They’ve decided to let political figures lie to you—even about Facebook itself—while their executives and their investors get even richer off the ads containing these lies.

Speaking of disinfo, Facebook is still deploying the same spokesperson as they did to push back on press and cover up 2016 election scandal and even their now-former employee Joseph Chancellor who signed the deal to sell FB data to be misused. But I digress. https://t.co/MaAnts26wV

Elizabeth Warren is now running FB ads with a false statement about Mark Zuckerberg and FB endorsing Trump for president, to draw attention to FB's controversial policy allowing politicians to make false statements in ads. https://t.co/hulwrb3cc3 pic.twitter.com/6zsPwXESKR
