WASHINGTON - Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said in a speech on Thursday that the social media company had considered banning all political advertising but decided against it, erring on the side of greater expression.

The company exempts politicians' ads from fact-checking standards applied to other content on the social network. The company rejected that because product managers were loath to leave advertising dollars on the table and policy staffers argued that blocking political ads would favor incumbents and wealthy campaigners who can better afford television and print ads, the sources said.

Critics say Facebook failed to prevent Russian interference in the election or take enough action to prevent meddle in the November 2020 campaign.
