Elizabeth Warren is correctly pointing out that Facebook is set to ratfuck Democrats in 2020.

Facebook says Trump can lie in his Facebook ads

Last week, Facebook quietly changed the language of its advertising policies to make it easier for politicians to lie in ads.

On Tuesday, the Trump campaign launched a new ad on Facebook, which includes a claim that was ruled false by Facebook-approved third-party fact-checkers. On the surface, such an ad appears to violate Facebook's rules against false content in ads. But Facebook quietly amended its policy on "misinformation" in advertising, allowing it to accept nearly any from a politician, including this new one from the Trump campaign.

In the last week, the Trump campaign has exponentially increased its Facebook spending, shelling out over $1.5 million for ads.

Trump's new video ad attacks rival Joe Biden. The ad (which you can watch here) states: "Joe Biden promised Ukraine $1 billion dollars if they fired the prosecutor investigating his son's company."

Facebook changes the rules

Prior to last week, Facebook had a rule against running any ads with "false and misleading" content: "Ads, landing pages, and business practices must not contain deceptive, false, or misleading content, including deceptive claims, offers, or methods."

But today, category 13 of prohibited content has been narrowed significantly. Now, Facebook only "prohibits ads that include claims debunked by third-party fact checkers or, in certain circumstances, claims debunked by organizations with particular expertise."

The old rules prohibited all ads that contained "false" and "misleading" content and made no mention of the fact-checking program. The new rules are limited to claims that are "debunked by third-party fact checkers."

Moreover, Facebook says "political figures" are exempt from even that narrow restriction.

It's open season.
