Facebook sticking with policies on politicians' lies and voter targeting

Facebook also said it is taking steps to give users more control over and insight into the ads they see, as well as improving its publicly available database of its political advertisements — allowing for more precise searches and filtering of ads and offering size estimates for their target audience. And the company announced it will soon allow users to control the volume of political and social issue ads they see.

Asked whether the company’s position on that might change, he added: “As of right now, this is what the policy is going to be.” CEO Mark Zuckerberg made two visits to D.C. last fall to defend Facebook’s refusal to fact-check candidates’ claims, includingwhere he argued that voters “should be able to see for themselves what politicians are saying.”

'Allowing politicians to lie.' 1. You probably mean 'allowing politicians I DON'T LIKE to lie.' (They ALL lie.) 2. FB isn't there to hold politicians accountable. That's the voter's job.

If people do not like FB (and I do not), do not use it.

لا لا ويجب ع فيس بوك أن يقف بقلبهُ مع الناخبين وذلك لتبرئه السياسيين من التزوير المرحله مهمه للغايه ويجب علينا جميعاً الالتفاف والاصطفاف حول الوطن 🇪🇬✌🇺🇲

Oh, Facebook!! You had me at Cambridge Analytica!! Deleted account 2017. Miss easy access to pictures of the cousins' kids growing up, but my country is important to me for the future of my kids.

Facebook is a unholy monster

Why does Facebook favor Fascism over Democracy.

Fuck Facebook. DeleteFacebook

Politicians lie to voters all the time so what’s the problem?

FakeBook

Obama legalized the use of Propaganda back in 2013. Facebook is just reiterating (then) amended bill. This is nothing new but just transparent.

So Facebook allows political lies , Facebook have no credibility Facebook will be useless. why would advertisers waste money on Facebook when the consumers do not respect the lies and dishonesty they pollute communication Airways with deceptive political ads

The fake news lies to voters. What's the difference?

LOL. How about the press stop writing lies?. Much ado about Trump having a stockpile of cash for ads.

Remember when you could socialize with friends and family WITHOUT political ads at all?

Shouldn't Facebook have to follow the same rules as traditional media when it comes to advertising standards?

Zickerberg is right. It’s not their job to decide that is true. Nor do I want it to be. I don’t trust them. I don’t trust you. I don’t trust anyone.

Are we all just stupid that we can’t check on facts and accuracy ourselves? Please, what about some self-reliance.

Facebook is garbage.

I shutdown my Facebook FOR LIFE🤞🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿✌🏿

Facebook is nothing but propaganda

They can go on CNN or FOX and lie to voters. Let’s teach media literacy and critical thinking skills.

Complicity to a lie is to lie yourself, so don't believe Facebook or anything you read there.

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE UNAMERICAN SOCIAL MEDIA SITE BAN FB IN AMERICA..

I don’t believe him

Fabulous news for 2020! Zuckerberg, you are an inspiration to... Absolutely nobody.
