By Josh Israel -June 12, 2020 4:00 PM
The Trump ads lied about Joe Biden, protesters, Democratic policies, voter fraud, and more.
Independent fact-checkers have labeled eight of Donald Trump's campaign ads on Facebook over the past year false.
However, although the fact-checkers work in partnership with Facebook, these specific checks were conducted outside the framework of that partnership, because Facebook is continuing to exempt political ads from its policies on truthfulness in posted material.
A review conducted by the Center for American Progress Action Fund found that checks by the outside groups have repeatedly deemed Trump's messaging untruthful, including false claims about civil rights protests, voting rights, immigration, and Trump's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Facebook has faced internal and external criticism for the policy loophole for political ads. Founder Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly defended the exception, saying he does not want his company to be "the arbiter of truth."

So Zuckerberg, your just fine and dandy making money off lies ( saying he does not want his company to be "the arbiter of truth), this really shows the world your business model and principles.
I would really like to know how your employees sign off on their annual business model review standard of ethics, because in some likely hood you are getting some form of tax dollars paid by the government contracts, and if there is a question in the process...................
When you lie its A Okay...................
Then maybe you shouldn't have any government contracts from anyone or advertisers, because some of them also have government contracts............and they need to come and have a talk to some committees...........

Hillary could be president now and we would have a million less infections and 100,000 less deaths and on and on and on.
I hold those on the left who did that responsible.
