Joe Biden is demanding that Facebook fact-check political ads. Facebook says no.

Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden speaks at a campaign event Friday, Feb. 14, 2020, in Henderson, Nev.Joe Biden's campaign has demanded that Facebook fact-check political ads and crack down on misinformation.

, asking it to "proactively stem the tide of false information" about elections and politics on its platform. The back-and-forth highlights just how intensely Facebook is now being attacked by both sides of the political aisle. Trump and the Republican Party continue to peddle the unproven claim that Facebook are deliberately censoring conservative voices online.

Biden's open letter calls on Facebook to fact-check all political ads prior to running them in the two weeks leading up to election day, and to stop "amplifying untrustworthy content." It's unclear what the Biden campaign means by "untrustworthy," and Facebook already reduces the reach of content that has been fact-checked).

Facebook should also be investigated on how they’ve been handling our own personal data. We deserve rights to how our personal data are used by third party companies.

Facebook should follow a similar culture to that of other social media and news media in where misleading, harmful data or info can be narrowed/eliminated and participating in this venture would help Americans make the change they desperately deserve.

Not facebook's job/

JoeBiden is a socialist.

Show your eagerness.

Pointing up

It’s up to Journalists and the people to “Fact check” Facebook is simply just a platform. I personally don’t think it’s right to let private companies decide what is fact and what isn’t.

FB should be massively taxed until it does do it.

Let’s face it. Facebook is a social experiment, nothing more nothing less. Don’t get why Facebook stocks are so high..

Good call by Facebook. No company should be able to control what they consider to be truth especially when truth can sometimes be subjective. Let people educate themselves and draw their own conclusions. We don't need to be told what we should or shouldn't think.

If fact checking is what CNN does then no thank you. Let's keep the freedom of speech the way it is. Hypocrisy and malevolence of DNC and JoeBiden is surreal.

Do some Liz Warren foo on those MAGA fukers, Joey.

Lol
