New York One of the companies that Facebook hired to fact-check posts on its platform will propose a change to Facebook's policy allowing politicians to run ads containing falsehoods, CNN Business has learned.

Lead Stories, one of the fact-checking organizations hired by Facebook after the 2016 election to help curb the platform's misinformation problem, will propose that fact-checkers vet ads from politicians and that those fact-checks then be reviewed by a new nonpartisan blue-ribbon panel.

A solution for Everyone would be Great, Hackers not Good . No Politicians should be allowed to control Social Media.

NO POLITICAL ADS.

But I get a 30 day ban for calling someone a 'fake'🤷‍♂️

Not only is Facebook running ads that are filled with lies, it also actively wipes off the truth. This photo, taken on Halloween2019 in Hong Kong showing a HK police aiming a shotgun at a protester’s head, was repeatedly deleted by Facebook.

FuckZuck

Well, well more reasons to avoid Facebook...

Like a “Facebook Fact Checker” would be fair and impartial!😂 Facebook has already proven their bias!

DEMS better get prepared and have their videos because I would bet Trump/GOP already have produced numerous deep fake videos & DEMS should not be flat footed if GOP won't stop cheating. THIS IS ABOUT CHEATING, Trump did it in 2016 & he's already doing it again for 2020

It's like giving authorization to arson to put fire on a forest and having firefighters stand by...

Crazy news network cnn

cnn e salve-se quem puder! A partir daí, acredito que experiência ao usar o APP ficará cada dia mais desagradável. Na minha opinião, já é, e a bastante tempo. Atordoado, Texano, Um dos maiores meios de propagação e proliferação de fake news no mundo, Baixa segurança e blablabla.

So when deemed false a post “down-ranked”. Why isn’t it removed outright?

CNN: Please help us convince Twitter and jack that this creature’s account must be suspended.

Don’t propose just do FFS

Oh I bet that'll work making more rules to stifle speech. Democrats are notorious for bot farms.

I think it is time to dumb FB!

I have a solution. DeleteFacebook

Isn't that exactly what the Clown News Network has been doing all along!

The one thing CNN doesn’t realize is that political TV ads have always had opponent vs opponent lie about each other. How is social media any different? It’s not

So....it's false....we'll fix that and only show it to few people. How do they decide who gets to see it? Why not just label it 'false'?

Well, RIP Facebook, you had a good run

facebook is a joke, my dads account was hacked by a guy out of Syria, we have sent messages after messages and this guy is still using my fathers name.

Politicians have lied forever. Tv networks have been airing their lies since the 50's

Not a good policy.... sad that soon I'll be dropping Facebook. I love keeping up with my friends, but I hate all the lies.

I hear and see false ads every day on regular television. Initiative 976 in Washington State. Consistent lies to steal tax dollars from citizens and it is endorsed by a failed presidential candidate. GovInslee

Fraud is illegal in all 50 states

It's about time to delete my facebook account.

Networks do the same, control what is shown and let politicians lie on tv.

He chasing the almighty dollar and it doesn't matter the currency.

Well since politicians and Congressmen can lie on the floor of Congress and in Hearings, why should Facebook police them!!

Man up Zuckerberg - I am beginning to believe u stole Facebook concept from the Twins after all

So essentially if you enjoy lies in your advertising and political messages, stick to Facebook! You’ll enjoy it. The rest of us have no reason for Facebook anymore

That's great job we have done with the CEO of facebook, nice job from the united states 🇺🇸 government........ God bless united states of americans 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Maybe Facebook's time is over.

Except for libtarded Dems that owns the media

Unbelievable!

Is CNN going to report on the breaking news we are seeing, that The whistleblower may have been Joe biden's point man in Ukraine?

I'm smiling. When the most ardent Democrats know what this piece is all about. Only Democrats have honest ad.

YET CNN FAKE NEWS IS IN EVERY AIRPORT AND CABLE TV PROVIDER

🧐

How about we work on a way to stop “news” outlets from putting out falsehoods👌🏻

they will bring back farmville

Well, I guess it's easier than trying to teach people not to be stupid enough to believe anything that comes across their feed.

Maranantha!

Facebook How about FB follow example set by Jack & completely ban political ads? Since it's such a small part of your revenue stream, don't know how you can justify NOT doing it. You could almost single-handedly take a HUGE bite out of Russian interference! Next step FAKE accts
