U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren's Democratic presidential campaign this week ...
- U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren’s Democratic presidential campaign this week challenged Facebook’s policy that exempts politicians’ ads from fact-checking, by running ads on the social media platform containing the false claim that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg endorsed President Donald Trump’s re-election bid.
“Facebook changed their ads policy to allow politicians to run ads with known lies - explicitly turning the platform into a disinformation-for-profit machine. This week, we decided to see just how far it goes.” Warren tweeted on Saturday. “We intentionally made a Facebook ad with false claims.” The Trump ad, which also ran on Twitter and YouTube, claimed that Biden had promised Ukraine $1 billion if the country fired a prosecutor investigating a company linked to Biden’s son. Trump has repeatedly made allegations, without evidence, that Biden engaged in improper dealings in Ukraine.
