Facebook 'kill switch' for political ads after U.S. election... Why not before the U.S. election..? Disinformation DeleteFacebook

AND WHEN FACEBOOK USES MISINFORMATION FOR ITS OWN POLITICAL REASONS? YOU KILL THE MESSENGER BY STOP USING FACEBOOK AND CLOSE THEM DOWN FOR GOOD.

Isn't that locking the barn door after the horse has already gotten out?

Why even kiss and adults in same platform?

It's about time

FB should stay out of politics.

Interesting how they wated until after the DNC convention to make that announcement.

Freedom of speech - is one of the cornerstones of a democracy! 'It's very simple. People have a right to know and a right to question and challenge power. That's true democracy.' WikiLeaks founder and publisher Julian Assange What does censorship reveal ? It reveals fear'

WHY AFTER?!?!?!?!!

What a joke! They fuel hatred in India by allowing hate speech from a right wing political parties. Mask is off Facebook. Class action suit will bring you to books.

AFTER? FUCK THEM Facebook

I think we saw that they have that already..

Facebook: “Let’s allow misinformation to infect the public during the lead up to the most consequential election of our lifetime. Maybe after that, we’ll take a look at doing something about it...”

AFTER? WTF

Great timing.

After? Nice one Mark . Ban matches after burning the stack

they should, I have seen attack ads that have blatantly false information which is easy to fact check with just a simple google search, but there's no way to take them down.
